Looks like one of my copy&paste errors that went undetected for too long...
I seem to have copied the tt-mid values above in that case.

Need to go back to the old driver to see what had been used there. A quick diff didn't show anything useful.

These were the only ones I could test (haven't seen a TT in 20 years). 
At the time I worked on the Atari FB driver, I didn't have access to the 
Profibuch either.

As Andreas mentioned, the Falcon (or external) hardware is the only one 
that can be programmed freely, so we need to work from the 95 MHz 
pixclock Andreas found. That's 10.5 ns approx.

10.5 ns * 1280 * 960 (omitting HBL and VBL timing) gives 77 Hz refresh 
so I don't think 95 MHz for 72 Hz refresh are unreasonable.

Need to look up what all the other numbers in the mode entry mean now ...

Cheers,

     Michael
