I am running the SS24X (even without your package (yet)) and get 1024x768ni
as well as 1152x900i without any problems. I have a cheap multisync 19"
monitor (I guess it's called TLR something).
I managed to get it running without setting the clocks by starting Linux
into VGA-Mode 1. And then I just call 'startx'...
