Hello,

Odd. The parameters read via DDC match what you had before:
(II) TDFX(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 30.00-70.00 kHz
(II) TDFX(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 47.00-120.00 Hz

And the mode you used - 1280x1024@60Hz - is listed as supported:
(II) TDFX(0): #3: hsize: 1280  vsize 1024  refresh: 60  vid: 32897

That's apparently the cause:
(II) TDFX(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range)
(**) TDFX(0): Preferred mode size is 1024x768
(II) TDFX(0): Not using default mode "1152x864" because it is larger
than the preferred mode (1024x768).=20

I'll have a look why this happened - it didn't happen here though,
apparently my monitor doesn't report a preferred mode so XFree's DDC
code doesn't force me to use it. This should be overrideable.

have fun
Michael
