problem making modelines work

Sun Jun 28 17:00:40 PDT 2009

I have a old sony tv with RGBHV inputs and am trying to get video out on the VGA port ata rate the TV can handle. I also have a
monitor connected to the DVI port through an adaptor. I ether get the wrong rate to the tv or no video at all. If I try to set
SecondMonitorHorizSync to force the metamode selected it stops sending video to the vga port.

Current xorg.conf:

#   With this configuration using xinerama, DVI is first and VGA is second.

# NOTE: use "CRT" for all analog 15 pin VGA connections (even if you have a flat panel).
#  "DFP" is intended for DVI digital connections only!
