[ale] Weird X question ( X output )

[Ken Nagorski]

Hi there, 

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. A quick look into the
sample X config that it gives you shows how to set the Hsync, I used the
"safest" set of values from the sample Xconfig. I don't know why it didn't
pick it up. I never had a problem on my other computer. Or any of the
various hardware I have plugged that poor monitor into. 

*Shrug* It's fixed...

Thanks
Ken

But I don't want to go among mad people,
Alice remarked.
Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat:
we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
