Have you tried setting horizontal and vertical sync? E.g. I think this would specifically give you 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1440x900: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" HorizSync 28.8,36,46.1,54 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Although the 'extra' time for some timing single might make that fail or, which should work for anything between 640x480 and 1440x900 Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" HorizSync 28.8-56.84 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Be ready to kill X quickly if those timings are wrong (unless you monitor is just smart and refuses to use rates that it can't handle). DISCLAIMER: I don't have a laptop; I don't know if these setting can cause permanent damage. You have been warned. Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
