   We propose to observe a sample of cataclysmic variables with weak
   magnetic fields in order to determine their detailed X-ray spectra
   and thus to test the validity of standard models, developed on the
   basis of low spectral resolution observations of a very few bright
   CVs. Recent observations of other weak-field CVs demonstrate the
   weakness of present models and make it unclear whether the properties
   of the brightest systems are typical of the whole class. Our
   understanding of weak-field CVs ca
