Re: modelines for xfree86 with official nvidia driver

Hello guys! Thanks for your great help, Desmond. I´ll try to generate some 
modelines.
I just don´t know how many modelines I need to generate. As my arcade 
monitor is horizontal
I´ll try only horizontal modes.

Before try your application, I tried the gtf modeline generator 
http://sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.php to
create some framebuffer resolutions, like this one:

mode "608x262 60.00Hz 32bit (GTF)"
    # PCLK: 11.23 MHz, H: 16.32 kHz, V: 60.00 Hz
    geometry 608 262 608 262 32
    timings 89062 40 -16 6 1 56 3
    hsync low
    vsync high
endmode

This mode can´t be loaded by fbset because there is a negative timing. So, 
with ADVCFG
and rivaframebuffer, the lowest plock I got working was about 8 MHz. Very 
bad,
because I got a screen like vertical games. So, my idea was to create more 
fb modelines
with gtf application, but without a success. Now it´s time to use YOUR idea.

To run under Xfree, I need to compile advmame with SDL, allright? So, 
ADVMAME
with SDL can select the modelines that I´ll generate with your application 
or I need to
do some other configurations?

Thanks for you big help
