Hi.
I just posted this as a followup to a request on 
comp.windows.x.i386unix, suddenly lots of these monitors 
seem to be showing up...

I'm using a 6500 with XFree on a FreeBSD box. 
I get best results with the following  Modeline:

# 1408x1056 @ 70 Hz, 76 kHz hsync
Modeline "1408x1056"  135    1408 1544 1672 1784  1056 1057 1059 1090

Add a 'Visual "StaticGray"' line in the 'Screen' section.

Resolution is limited by my 2MB graphics card, an ELSA Winner 1000 AVI.
The pixelclock is slightly above the monitor's video bandwidth of 120MHz, 
but the image is perfectly sharp.
This setting works without adjusting centering or screen size.
Interestingly, when the monitor is cold, the first 50 or so pixels of
the first scan line are missing. They appear as the thing warms up.

The main specs (from the user's manual) are:
H.Scan Frequency: 31.5kHz, 48-55kHz, 64-78kHz
V.Scan Frequency: 55-80Hz
Video Bandwidth: 120MHz

This monitor is a dream.

Have fun,
Guido
