Roell's X11R4 server on ESIX - HELP!!!

I've been tearing my hair out for the last two hours or so, trying to
figure out how to get this X server configured for my SVGA/monitor
combination. If you're not interested in reading a lot of technical
details about this problem, hit your ``next article'' button now.

Here's what I've done:

Ran clock.exe (from clock.pas) and gotten the oscillator numbers for
the Trident SVGA card. The program came back with:

    Chipsets ET3000 ET4000
    clocks: 25.2 28.3 44.9 14.3"

As a result, I put the following line in the Xconfig file:

    ET4000   512   864 606   25 28 45 14  "800x600" # Trident SVGA

The second piece, getting the video timings right, is what has been
driving me batty. I've tried almost every possible combination of
numbers and am obviously doing something wrong. My latest try was:

    "800x600"   28    800 880 936 1016    600  606  610  631

This causes my screen to blank out and come up as an off-white.

The monitor that I'm using is a Panasonic PanaSync C1381.

It's Spec sheet says:

    Synchronization
        Horizontal: 30KHz to 37KHz continuous.
            Auto size and center at 31.5KHz, 35.2KHz.
            VGA/SVGA/8514A standards.
        Vertical: 50Hz to 90Hz continuous.
            Non interlaced or interlaced modes.
            Auto size and center for VGA/SVGA/8514A standards.

    Resolution
        Horizontal: 1024
        Vertical: 768

The VGA card DRAM contains 512K (which means that 800x600 is max
resolution on the server side, even though my monitor can do more).

I hope that someone out there can help me get this up and running
(Thomas??).

Thanks!!
