[Gllug] Slackware 8.0, XFree86 4.1.0 and Nvidia drivers...

[Roberto D'Amico]

Looking through the monitor manual again, I found a table which lists the
VESA modes my monitor can handle,
The highest is VESA/85 which is 1025x768 H at 68.67KHz V at 85Hz. Since this is
the highest resolution i'm getting, I guess I am using the VESA modes.

How to i specify my own modeline? or a least point me to the relevant
section in the docs.

Thanks
roberto

PS: I'm real starting to miss 1600x1200
