Ok, thanks for the tip.

I've tried SVGATextMode, but I cannot bring the resolution over 80 columns, 
and I pheraps still use only the VGA mode of my video card (it is an ATI 
Radeon VE).
This is because (I guess) I don't have the particular set of pixel clock 
allowed on my card. 

Can XFree86 give me such information?

In the SVGATextMode man's page it is written to try with "X -probeonly" but I 
don't get no information about the pixel clock from this command.

Every suggest is welcome.

Thanks again, Antonio
