Yep I noticed the difference between the manual on the cd and the web
site, that's why I had a go at it again, thinking it might be the
difference.
What is really weird is that my x logs say everything is just honky
dory, shows the display being set to 1680x1050 and running at like 60.2
for the vertical, I even thought maybe it didn't like the variable for
the vert sync rate so I set it manually at 60.2, no luck, maybe I should
try again with just 60. I have a feeling it's something with my card
though cause dmesg shows that it's constantly putting the card at 8x,
like 10 times. Ah for now, I'll just leave it, when I upgrade my box and
get into pcie, I'm sure it'll be fine.
The 1400x1050 isnt available to you cause it's not in your x file. The
selection in the gui only shows what's in the x file. If you manually
put it in, I'll be it would work, not that you'd wanna anyway. Thanks
for the feedback Dave.
