Thank you for your kind reply.
If this is a problem with my monitor, I understand the xserver package 
can not help it... But does that mean I can't use the package at all? 
Because I specified the resolutions exactly according to the 
specification of the vendor: http://www.taxan.co.uk/old.htm#895

Is there nothing I can do?

Thank you very much :)

Eric
