i did that, too, but it won't start X with anything higher than
800x600 in the Modes line. when it didn't work manually, i changed it
in the gui, but when i restarted it just went to a blank screen until
i changed it back to 800x600. then i modified grub with the vga line,
and as i said it worked at 1280x1024, but then no hardware
acceleration anymore. Xorg.0.log complained about the h/vsync, but i'm
using the values provided by samsung. i'm completely baffled. :?:

thanks,
