Nope, once I got home last night I undid the change after reviewing my previous work and determining it was a bad call on my part.

Nope: http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/headers/os/add-ons/graphics/Accelerant.h#L95 You're right, these are unsigned int's. My original (and still my plan) is to do a few bitwise checks on the timing flags to ensure they are within sane ranges, etc. I am also going to compare monitor mode line timings and see if the mode lines are possible values (like you said). I just ran out of time last night. Also, for what it's worth... r41341 boot stably on my Radeon HD 5830. http://pastebin.com/D02A4a8a Too bad the mode line is crap and the image garbled though :D -- Alex
