Subject: XFree86 v3.1 - problems with 1024x768 mode
Date: 8 Jan 1995 14:55:12 -0600
Organization: MCSnet, Chicago Area Public Internet Access
Lines: 204
Message-ID: <3epjfg$m7r@Mercury.mcs.com>

I am absolutely positive that I have defined a valid screen mode
"1024x768i" in my XF86Config file. Nevertheless, when I startup
X, I get the following error messages:
(--) SVGA: There is no mode definition named "1024x768i"
(--) SVGA: Removing mode "1024x768i" from list of valid modes.
Again, I am very sure this is in there and valid. IS ther perhaps
a bug in the server code which is causing it not to recognize the
mode definition? Please find the the config file (XF86Config)
attached below... Thanks for any help...
