I am running FreeBSD2.1 and have an ATI Mach 64 card. I am trying to add a new mode to my machine, so that I can run at 1152x864 in 24bit mode. As far as I can tell the hardware should support this. I have tried adding entries such as: Modeline "1152x864" 135 1152 1280 1328 1512 864 1024 1025 1028 but it causes my console and keyboard to crash when I try it. Any help or pointer to help?
