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 ?

Add the following two lines to Section "Monitor"

HorizSync 30-82
VertRefresh 56-76




THANKS Steve!

I had found the settings in the docs for the Acer X223W. But was not
exactly sure how to put them in the the configuration file.


My final settings are as follows:...

Section "Device"
Identifier "3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3"
Driver "tdfx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Acer X223W"
VendorName "Acer Inc."
ModelName "X223W"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-82
VertRefresh 56-76
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3"
Monitor "Acer X223W"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
...
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" "1280x1024" "1152x864"
"1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Jay
