Hi all,

Do I need a "modes" section [or not] in my XF86Config file for X4.2 [this section contains modelines for my monitor]. Or specifying an iterative algorithm would suffice? Any experts on X?

This depends on your monitor. Older monitors need modelines, newer ones usually don't. I commented out all of the modelines in /etc/X11/XF86Config and the only time I had a problem was when I started the computer with the monitor switched off. One way to test this is to make a copy of /etc/X11/XF86Config and then edit it. If things go wrong you can always overwrite the edited version with the original in a text console. JDL
