grfmodes for merlin

[Christian Kristukat <semmel%mail.physik.TU-Berlin.DE@localhost>]

again and again questions concerning merlin gfxboard:

Can anynody send me a /etc/grfmodes matching the merlin board,
or can anybody teach me how to make the file myself?
The values I got for hbs,hss,hse... aren't working.

btw: I got them with an old version of ModeInfo-Prefs program
and these values tend to confuse me, cause the values
for vertical display description (resolution 800x600)are
in the range of 600-660 and the horizontal ones range from
99 to 130, and that ist what appears strange to me.
The vertical values seem to be a pixel based information and
the horizontal ones not....

I tried with the example grfmodes file in the X-FAQ and I
got a display which looked very ugly but I could see the
windows appearing and I managed to exit X by menu. Is it
the bug in the merlin driver when running under zorro3 or
is it just a wrong grfmodes file?

And the last question to merlin-owners: how can I switch to
zorro2 mode? Closing the jumper on the board doesn't help!

thank you
