SUCCESS!!!!
In the past day i learnt a whole lotta things about monitors and got tons of
Xconfigs. Thanks to all the people trying to help me!
Since my mbox got corrupted i cannot forward my experiences (though they are
still poor) to the people who asked me to. The trick was just as easy as can be!
Fiddling with the available clocks made the miracle happen! Since I was able to
reproduce getting a stable display on another fixed-freq-monitor my assumptions
are the following:
- Cheap monitors use cheap circuits
- Cheap circuits cannot handle high clocks
- Cheap monitors give a still satisfying display when fed with low clocks
So that`s all. No new values in Xconfig except of using a lower clock. I now got
800x600 at obvious 56Hz (no flicker appearing) at a clock of 20(!!) MHz.
Hope this helps some other poor guys like me...
