SOLVED Re: 'manual' x configuration - where's xf86config?

Thanks guys - I was mistaking 1024x768 for 88x600...

And changing the bit depth down to 16 allowed 166x1200 as somoene tirelssly pointed out.

Maybe I'm rusty or my brain's atrophied - never used to take me a day to get this stuff sorted - coudln't have done it without this list and tghe pateince of those who responded..

Sincerest thanks.

I'll crawl back under my stone now....
