Thanks guys - I was mistaking 1024x768 for 88x600...
And changing the bit depth down to 16 allowed 166x1200 as somoene
tirelssly pointed out.
Maybe I'm rusty or my brain's atrophied - never used to take me a day
to get this stuff sorted - coudln't have done it without this list
and tghe pateince of those who responded..
Sincerest thanks.
I'll crawl back under my stone now....

duh!
My x freezes on start after I installed etch and I want to use
xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlitlty? I
cannot work out what package its in.
Also, in the debian reference manual, at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-xsrvr,
it refers to xserver-common-v3 (I think I need this as I have an old
matrox card)- I can find no such package in etch - is the ref manual
out of date or something? Surely not?
Thanks for any help,
Martin
