Subject: Need ModeDB for a IBM 8512 at 25.226 dot clock

   I have a IBM 8512 monitor that is being driven by a STB Horizon 
Video Card  (Cirrus chip set).  I am Having trouble with Xconfig.
I have the card settings correct ( 90% sure ).  I cannot get the modeDB
line to get my IBM 8512 to sync in the 640 x 480 mode with the SVGA driver.

   I know the monitor can handle it I normally run 640 x 480 x 24 bit color 
in windows.

   X -probeonly passes and looks good.

   startx causes no sync then crashes the X server.

   I am using the FreeBSD 1.1 cdrom installation.  I am very happy with the
packages so far.

   I am using a dot clock of 25 (25.226 as reported by the probeonly command).
   Monitor specs. horizontal 31.5kHz  Vertical 70Hz.

   Any ideas on the 8512 sync/modeDB 640x480 mode?

   Please reply to Newsgroup or pmiller@netcom.com whichever is appropriate.
