Actually it is running at 800, not 640, and I don't think LCD monitors go 
to very high sync and refresh rates so no need to fiddle.  Is it supposed 
to look better with higher rates even at the same resolution?

The XF86Config in no-xvesa.tgz seems ideal for Pentium I laptops (our 
266MHz goes to 800, the 100MHz to 640).  The 2MB RAM video chip goes to 
1280 but we would need to plug in another monitor to see it.  (And add 
more modelines and change resolution settings in XF86Config).


Thanks Steven and David,
