Re: Seeking config for neomagic 2160 1024x768

Thanks for the reply!
I've tried using the builtin 1024x768 mode and also various modelines
I've seen on the net.  But I don't know what I'm doing :)
Whatever I try, the log file says
(II) NEOMAGIC(0): Removing mode (1024x768) larger than the LCD panel (800x600)
but I don't know if X is able to accurately probe the lcd resolution or if
it's calculating it based on my guesswork about VertRefresh and HorizSync,
or what!
I'm pretty sure though, that when this machine had windows on it it was
running at 1024x768.  I can't find this info on the gateway site.
Has anyone gotten this working in this mode?
