Yes, I think that's the one but...  (BTW my config file is set for 35, but 
it won't let me add "kHz" or "Hz"??)

The default modes my card goes through do not have any "@67Hz", they just
have "HHHxVVV".  It does go through 4 (different?) "640x480" modes (I
can't tell from the log file), but they all "hsync out of range", and
I can't figure that out: surely the card is able to hsync that low.

I don't know the syntax of XF86Config files at all well.
Do I put that "Modes" into my "Screen" section, or my "Monitor" section, 
or do I have to put a UseModes "Custom Modes" + Section "Modes" into my 
file?

I'm so close I can almost taste this...

TIA,
max.
