When using GNOPPIX with my office-ws boot seems to be OK until gdm should start. screen turns black, flickering for a moment, then machine hangs up. only way out is a HARDWARE reset.

Yesterday I found out something: autogenerated XF86Config-4 contains the savage-graphics-driver, some mysterious ModeLines and resolutions, that would probably work with a 15" CRT, but don't work with my ViewSonic GS815 21" CRT.
After manually changing XF86Config-4 in the according Sections, restarting gdm leeds to a well-working Gnome Desktop.

My Changes according to my hw-settings:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]

Section "Device"
Driver "svage"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

ViewSonic GS815 21" CRT
HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 # Warning: This may fry old Monitors
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 # Very conservative. May flicker.

changed to
HorizSync 30.0 - 121.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 180.0
