Unfortunately I do *NOT* want it detecting this "stuff". As I said, I have
2 computers. Both are using 17" CRTs (4:3). The section you quoted was
added after my initial configuration and one used 1152x864 and the other used
1280x768. On both, I have only 1 resolution. I'm unable to use the
C-A-plus/minus to change from one resolution to another. The resolutions
listed in the display subsection is the ones I want to beable to use on both
machines in the listed order.

I looked, but didn't see much. I saw mode lines for several resolutions on
the one that is doing 1280x768. I did not see 1152x864 on that one. I also
enabled modedebug in the video driver just to see what it says.
Should I send the xlog (if so, /w or w/o modedebug)?
