Thanks for the reply Alexander,

I have also used that tool to come with a proper ModeLine value and no
luck. In fact the value that come out of that tool are way too high. I
tried that value you generated it was out of the frequency range. Here's
what the Monitor Specs are:

Horizontal: 30kHz to 81Khz
Vertical: 56Hz to 85Hz (XGA)
	  60Hz to 76Hz(SXGA)
Max Pixel Clock: 135Mhz

I futzed with gtf a little more and came up with mode line:

ModeLine "1280x1024" 137.62  1280 1368 1504 1728  1024 1025 1028 1069
+HSync +Vsync 

It work a tad better, but there's still a lot of shake and wobble going
on. Hooked up to my PowerBook or Windows, the display is crystal clear.
I should mention that this is an LCD display too. 

Ryan-
