Been there, done that already.
My fault, I told you something wrong: my monitor is even not
capable of 1024x768/72Hz! (It understands however the 1024x768/70 of my
Sun SPARCstation LX).
I should have explaned that 1024x768 is the lowest solution
of the C240 offers me. The others (1024x768 at 72 or 75Hz) obviously won't
work. So there is no way of using STI and stifb, since even the lowest
resolution isn't supported by my monitor.
The graphic card works however (tested all modes with a 20" monitor
of a friend).
