I've found the specs of Monitor0 on http://www.lcdspecifications.com/samsungpdfs/LTN104S2-L01A.pdf I've tried to enter the following specs on the website you mentionned : Horizontal sync : - Min 46 Max Vertical sync : - Min 75 Max Dot Clock freq.: 49 Vis. resolution : 800 x 600 Refresh rate : 75 Dot clock freq.: 49 Constr.Asp. Rat. : 0 / 0 Interlace : (left blank) Doublescan : (left blank) I get the follwing message : Modeline "800x600@75" 49.85 800 832 1016 1048 600 611 619 631 Horizontal sync frequency: 47.57 kHz Warning! Horizontal sync frequency above maximum of 46kHz! Dot clock above maximum of 49MHz! Interlace is recommended. Can you (or anyone else) help me out please Regards, Dennis .
