hmm Ok, thank you very much, I'll have to check out my LCD tomorow....

[arkaoss]

here's a few lines from my xf86config-4 file:
-----------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "true"
# HorizSync 28.0 - 78.0 # Warning: This may fry very old Monitors
HorizSync 70 - 80# Warning: This may fry old Monitors
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 76.0 # Very conservative. May flicker.
VertRefresh 50-85# Extreme conservative. Will flicker. TFT default.
----------------
there's more .. but I think it's not needed, after a bunch of "defaults" :
--------------------
vendorname "ViewSonic"
modelname "VG800"
ModeLine "1280x1024/61Hz" 110 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054
EndSection
------------------------
end of applicable section

Uhm the monitor, a viewsonic 18 in lcd, it's says it's runnin at 79.7 Horiz and 74.7 vert.

i dunno.. If anyone can suggest other places where vid settings might be.
I do know that when I switch tty's and switch back, it is actually displaying nothing, while still letting keystrokes, and by expirimenting, mouse strokes thru.
and after a reboot, I doo see the switcher for users.. but once tty's are swaped... there's no getting vid feed back.
Any one want to point out where thos settings are spawned?
