Using 1280x1024 resolution with Matrox 2164W



I can only bring up 800x600 screen on this card. Using W2k on the same machine, I can display 1280x1024 @85Hz. Do you know why XFree86 does not allow this to happen? Below is the setting in XF86Config-4. The machine itself is P4-2.4GHz w 1GB RAM. Debain Sarge installed with the stock Kernel 2.6.6, apt-update/upgraded.
