Bingo, this fixes things here too. Thanks!

DVI still doesn't work, but I'm used to that from FC1 too. It looks
like the Modeline chosen has a pixel clock of 162MHz, and Xorg/XFree
refusing to use modes with more than 160MHz, even that DVI can do
165MHz on single link. So to get DVI going I guess I have to play around
with custom ModeLines for my Dell 2001FP. Which sucks.. the last time I
had to do such stuff was 1995. :-)


Best regards,
Daniel
