XF86Config Modelines...

[egallih at shell.gis.net (Eric Galliher)]

I think I can safely say that my monitor will lose sync rather than burst
into flames. Its a brand new Optiquest v95 running with a VA Research
system.

Urban legend aside, here is the information, although I may
have missed a few things...

Monitor:

76Hz Maximum refresh rate at 1600x1200 (non-interlaced)
VESA 1600x1200 Horiz Freq: 93.75kHz Vert Freq: 75.00kHz
Horiz Freq range: 30-95 kHz 
Vert Freq range: 70-85.03 kHz
Likelyhood of spontaneous combustion: aprox. 0%


Video Card: (matrox millenium g200)

RAMDAC: 250mhz
SGRAM: 8 megs
Horiz Range at 1600x1200: 75-113
Vert Range at 1600x1200: 60-90

I think thats all thats needed(?) If I've missed anything, please let me
know.

Many thanks for the help...
