And one more thing. If you want a really easy way out, you can boot your pc with a debian based live CD like Knoppix, Morphix, Mepis, Overclockix, Kanotix, etc. It will auto detect your monitor and configure xfree86. If you boot up and the display is how you like it, you can just copy that configuration to your hard drive:

Code:

mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/hdaX
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hdaX/etc/X11/

Where the X in "hdaX" referes to the number of the root partition of your Debian installation.

Did you try going through xf86config again and entering 30-85 kHz for hsync? It looked like from the log it was set to 30-70.

Ah...whoa... How did I get it in my head that it was 30-70? ....::looks at paper that I wrote these on to use during install::... ugh, I'm a moron. I'll be right back and try changing it to 30-85, instead of 30-70. ::smacks head::

...look at that. I'm on 1600x1200. Thanks for all your help! If you wouldn't of said something about that, I don't think I would of ever figured it out.

You were a big help.
