    HEP me man! I was borrowing a trident vga card for my new
fixed frequency monitor (48khz horizontal by 60hz vertical) and it
worked great under X windows.  I had it in 1024x768 mode with no
problems.  I returned the card to a friend and bought a ET4000 hicolor
and now the 1024x768 mode doesnt seem to work.  I guess the ET4000 has
a different set of dot clocks.  Anyway, I made up my own mode with
the modegen2.sc spreadsheet by plugging in my horizontal and
vertical frenquencies for the monitor and a sample dot clock for
the ET4000 card (75 I think it was) and guessed at all of the
other values for sync delays and such.  But I dont think my monitor
likes it too good.  I ran it for 24 hours with these values and
now the very top left corner of the screen is discolored! HELP!
These are the values I was using in my Xconfig file:
       "test"       75     1184 1216 1552 1568    771  778  781  797

    Can somebody give me some rules for making video modes that
are not bad for the monitor?  I have an ET4000 HiColor and a fixed
frequency sony trintron 17" monitor.  I really dont want to screw up
my monitor, so please help! thanks everybody!!!!!
