I connected my SyncMaster 171T with a DVI-cable, whow no missmatch at all! Astonishing my framebuffer driver now switches to the correct resolution during startup itself, phantastic! I now could remove "fbset -a 1280x1024-60' from my profile. I can only advice anyone to switch to DVI if he has a chance. O. Wyss -- See a huge pile of work at "http://wyodesktop.sourceforge.net/"
