[CLUE-Tech] Problem with ATI Rage 128 and X-Windows on a laptop

[David Anselmi]

In X 4.x, modelines are not as necessary as 3.x because X knows the
modelines for VESA standard resolutions.  I don't think 1400x1050 is one
of those, so you may need the modeline below.  But perhaps you could try
commenting out the modeline and change your display subsections to use a
VESA resolution (1200x1024 maybe).

If that helps and you want to use 1400x1050, you could add a 1200x1024
after the 1400x1050 in the display subsection and then switch resolutions
just before you exit X.

Sorry I don't have a better answer - I don't write video drivers (even
though I'd like to).
