I just tweaked the XF86Config-4 file that was generated by running 'X -configure'.
I added the modeline and a section to the 'screen' section to use that mode. Here
is my XF86Config-4 file (I am running the LCD at 156.31 MHz to get the 75 Hz
refresh rate. I am not sure if this recommended. I havent had any problems but use
it at your own risk):
Good luck.
Let us know how you fare. I have had occassional "freezes" with the server.
Usually the "freeze" is preceded by fast text scrolling or resizing of windows.
The only out of the "freeze" has been to power recycle the machine.....
