I tried to use the "tdfx" driver and the results were not satisfactory
(screen resolution much diminished). So I returned it "vesa".
I added the "1680x1050" mode to each line for depths 1 through 24.
There was no change. Is there some setting that tells Xconfig that the
monitor is a W I D E S C R E E N ?
Cheers,
Jay

Probably but I?d start by chancing the driver to tdfx which is the correct
driver for your card and seeing what happens then.
