Sorry, what I mean is: I've got the values from xvidtune - where do I
insert them in my XF86Config-4?  The relevant (I think) part is...

	Subsection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"800x600" "640x480" "1024x768"
		ViewPort	0 0
	EndSubsection

I inserted my values after "800x600" - but that didn't work.

Sure, sorry I forgot - fresh installation.

Thanks
