Hi,

I am trying to use my old SGI 1600SW lcd monitor with my Linux machine
running Redhat 9. My PC running kernel 2.4.20 SMP. The problem is that even
though I configured X to run in 1600x1024 mode, it displays in 1280x1024.
After some tweaking around, I got it working in 1600x1024, but screen shifts
a bit. I guess modeline statement is a problem, but can not get proper
data. Anyone has experience with this monitor?

You help is highly appreciated. Below is my X config.
