I have a 486 (running NetBSD 0.9) with XFree86-2.0 running. I have a ATI Ultra Pro VLB card with 2Meg of VRAM, and a ViewSonic 21 monitor (lucky me!) Anyway, I got all this stuff so that I could run X in 1280x1024 at 74 HZ but I'm having trouble getting this to work (it seems to work fine under Microsoft Windows by the way). Does anyone have this configuration, or any other configuration with the ATI Ultra Pro running at 1280x1024? When I try and run the dot clock at 110 or 135 Mhz, I get an error message back that says "Maximum dot clock is 80 Mhz". What is this silliness from? Did I not set the EEPROM correctly on the video card? Thanks! Craig -- "They [La Prensa] accused us of suppressing freedom of expression.
