    That's right in *hertz* to mean "megahertz". I.E DotClock 21.96 VS
    DotClock 21.96M, for all I know it's DotClock 21.96K!! That's what I'm
    saying that it's not documented what 21.96, from my mode section, means.

    As you can see from my cfg file, I'm trying to use a doublescan mode 256x240. This is the native resolution of an NES pumped up a bit.

    It's an asumption of mine that DotClock is in Mhz, that is missing
    from
    XF86Config-4's man page.

    I can't reply to your response to Michel D�nzer, as you sent that to the bug's -quiet address (in fact, I didn't even see that response until
    just
    now).

    You confused me in that message. You said you had to add "M" to the
    option
    value to get XFree86 to interpret the value as being in *hertz*?

    That seems pretty counter-intuitive to me. A
