I'm still trying to find a way to use my Laser 386sx monitor with my
STB ERGO Powergraph 1024x768x256 board.  I've been able to grab the
640x480 entry from the standard entry in modeDB.txt (in Linux's
/usr/lib/X11/etc directory), and have it working properly.  The
800x600 entry seems to roll vertically, along with displaying some
white retrace lines at times.  I'm thinking that I might be able
somehow 'massage' this entry to work within the next day or two.

Unfortunately, I've not been able to get the monitor to work with any
1024x768i entry found in this list.  Likewise, I'm not sure how to 
generate entries for an interlaced mode of operation for a monitor.

If anyone can point to a FAQ that explains computing these entries for
an interlaced mode, please let me know.

thanks, and sorry for the reposting of this problem.  I'm just stumped
by it, and I'm not sure how to compute the proper values  (everything
that I've read i believe is geared to the non-interlace mode of operation).
