>+	<para>This section assumes a bit of advanced configuration knowledge. 
>+	  If attempts to use the standard configuration tools above have not

>+	  Use of a text editor will be necessary.</para>

>+	<para>Current Widescreen (WSXGA, WSXGA+, WUXGA, WXGA, WXGA+, et.al.)
>+	  formats support 16:10 and 10:9 formats or aspect ratios that can 
>+	  be problematic. Examples of some common screen resolutions for 
>+	  16:10 aspect ratios are:</para>
>+
>+	<itemizedlist>
>+	  <listitem><para>2560x1600</para></listitem>
>+	  <listitem><para>1920x1200</para></listitem>

>+	  <listitem><para>1280x800</para></listitem>
>+	</itemizedlist>
>+
>+	<para>At some point, it will be as easy as adding one of these 
>+	  resolutions as a possible Mode in the Section "Screen" as such:</para>
>+
>+	<programlisting>Section "Screen"
>+Identifier "Screen0"
>+Device     "Card0"
>+Monitor    "Monitor0"
>+DefaultDepth 24
>+SubSection "Display"
>+	Viewport  0 0
>+	Depth     24
>+	Modes     "1680x1050"
>+EndSubSection
>+EndSection</programlisting>

>+	<para><application>&xorg;</application> is smart enough to pull the 
>+	  resolution information from  the widescreen via I2C/DDC information
>+	  so it knows what the monitor can handle as far as frequencies
>+	  and resolutions.</para>
>+
>+	<para>If those ModeLines do not exist in the drivers,
>+	  one might need to give <application>&xorg;</application> a little hint.
>+	  Using <filename>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</filename> one can extract 
>+	  enough information to manually create a ModeLine that will work.
>+	  Simply look for information resembling this:</para>
>+
>+	<programlisting>(II) MGA(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
>+(II) MGA(0): clock: 146.2 MHz   Image Size:  433 x 271 mm
>+(II) MGA(0): h_active: 1680  h_sync: 1784  h_sync_end 1960 h_blank_end 2240 h_border: 0
>+(II) MGA(0): v_active: 1050  v_sync: 1053  v_sync_end 1059 v_blanking: 1089 v_border: 0
>+(II) MGA(0): Ranges: V min: 48  V max: 85 Hz, H min: 30  H max: 94 kHz, PixClock max 170 MHz</programlisting>
>+
>+	<para>This information is called EDID information. Creating a 
>+	  ModeLine from this is just a matter of putting the numbers in the 
>+	  correct order:</para>
>+
>+	<programlisting> ModeLine &lt;name&gt; &lt;clock&gt; &lt;4 horiz. timings&gt; &lt;4 vert. timings&gt;</programlisting>
>+
>+	<para>So that the ModeLine in Section "Monitor" for this example 
>+	  would look like this:</para>
>+
>+	<programlisting>Section "Monitor"
>+Identifier      "Monitor1"
>+VendorName      "Bigname"
>+ModelName       "BestModel" 
>+ModeLine        "1680x1050" 146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 
>+Option          "DPMS"
>+EndSection</programlisting>
>+
>+	<para>Now having completed these simple editing steps, X should start
>+	  on your new widescreen monitor.
