I have a Dell 486P/66 with an on-board Western Digital 90C31 video chipset. Unfortunately, I have no listing for the appropriate clock values to use in Xconfig and the -probeonly option returns wildly inaccurate values. I've already called Dell about this, asking for the clock values as they have implemented them... but as soon as they heard I was setting up UNIX, they wanted US$90/h to help me. The question was about their hardware, not about UNIX! They, however, didn't see things this way. So, has anyone managed to get accurate clock values for one of these beasts? If so, I would appreciate it greatly if someone could let me know how/where I can acquire this information. Thanks, Jody
