if you want a weird mode you'll have to make your own ModeLine for it, most
likely.

I just got Debian Linux running on a system with an i810e
chip set. The monitor supports DDC, so does that mean I
can safely remove the hsync and vsync values from my
XFConfig file? Do I need other special flags to tell the
driver to use DDC?

Also, my monitor supports a wide 1280x768 graphics mode but
I can't seem to get X11 to do anything but 1024x768, so I
can't use the full screen. Does the linux i810 driver
support 1280x768 and how to I configure X do use it?

Thanks,
