Hi again

I got 1024x768 to work with your modeline, and I tried three modelines
I found on the Internet, that where said to work on eMacs running
XFree86 in 1280x960. None of them did work:/ I did also try two
different modeline generators, and none of their outputs did work.

ModeLine        "800x600" 112 800 816 824 840 600 616 624 640 -hsync -vsync
ModeLine        "1024x768" 100 1024 1108 1280 1408 768 768 780 796 +hsync +vsync

#Modeline "1280x960" 122.25 1280 1328 1424 1696 960 961 964 1002
+hsync +vsync -csync
That modeline is from a working XFree86.config... at least if you are
using Gentoo. And maybe only 1.25GHz modell?

Is there something about the diffrent eMac modelles? The 700MHz one
have an nVidia card, the 1GHz ATI Radeon 7500 and the 1.25GHz has an
ATI Radeon 9200.
So maybe the modelines are different for the different modells?

According to the eMac manual, the monitor will only work in 72kHz
h.sync and these resolutions:
640x480@138Hz
800x600@112Hz
1024x768@89.0Hz
1152x864@80.0Hz
1280x960@72.0Hz

Which is strange, because I remember there being 60 and 72Hz in
1280x960... I could be wrong though.

Maybe it would be a good thing to have a list of working modelines
collected on NetBSD.org somewhere?

Take care!
