Color depth of 4, particularly under WindowMaker.
Try 16, 24, or 32. Note that at 24, Netscape looks like hell. But then
again, you shouldn't use Netscape anyway.
Peace.

Potato. Any pointers on revising my config file? Connections to a bug

Sorry, you'll have to try modelines yourself. Might google the
monitor/card combo and see what you come up with.
Peace.

I've been reading this threat with great interest because I think I
ahve similar problems with my X on sid.
Here is my configuration:
http:/www.ds10.uklinux.net/xerr/XF86Config-4
and here is the result on how X looks like:
http:/www.ds10.uklinux.net/xerr/snapshot1.png
Changing the color depth to 16 gives a somhow usable X with a ca 5cm
wide flickering stripe in the middle of the screen. So I reduced
(stepwise) the values for vsnyc to 31.5-35.1 and hsync to 50-70 in my
config and this is how it looks like then:
http://www.ds10.uklinux.net/xerr/snapshot3.png
The menues are barely readble and what ever I do I can't get rid of
the yellow color scheme.
BTW, I have a no name monitor and a CirrusLogic GD5440 or 5430. They
worked fine under XFree 3.x with the SVGA server. Any more ideas on
how to get them work with XF4?
Thanks,
Frank
