Anyway, try changing the xorg.conf file to a single setting, such as;
VertRefresh 100.0

To set the vertical refresh rate to 100Mhz for example.

not quite sure what evidence u see that violates forum rules...
I have no doubt in my mind that there are experts or more knowledgable people here, and that's why I asked. One would only be offended if they indeed believed that there are no experts here and took this remark to be sarcastic, which was not the nature or the wording of my response.

lets not make something out of nothing.

being impatient is not a violation of forum rules, its if u act on those impulses in such a way that violates policy, and I HAVE NOT done that.

about setting VertRefresh value to 100.0, i had tried that earlier and X would not load.
That is one of the reasons why I decided to post this question Smilie

for those interested, it turned out it was the video card, so i simply replaced my win box monitor w/ my fc3 box and everything works just fine!

request_refresh_rate

request_refresh_rate(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				     request_refresh_rate(3alleg4)

NAME

       request_refresh_rate - Requests a specific refresh rate during graphic mode switch. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void request_refresh_rate(int rate);

DESCRIPTION

       Requests  that the next call to set_gfx_mode() try to use the specified refresh rate, if possible. Not all drivers are able to control this
       at all, and even when they can, not all rates will be possible on all hardware, so the actual settings may differ from what you	requested.
       After  you call set_gfx_mode(), you can use get_refresh_rate() to find out what was actually selected. At the moment only the DOS VESA 3.0,
       X DGA 2.0 and some Windows DirectX drivers support this function. The speed is specified in Hz, eg. 60, 70. To return to the normal default
       selection, pass a rate value of zero. Example:

	  request_refresh_rate(60);
	  if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0) != 0)
	     abort_on_error("Couldn't set graphic mode!");
	  if (get_refresh_rate() != 60)
	     abort_on_error("Couldn't set refresh rate to 60Hz!");
