My Polaroid 1440x900 TV screen misbehaves similarly. /etc/X11/xorg.conf works the same as it always has. The following works for mine: # 50-device.conf Section Device Identifier Default Device EndSection # 50-monitor.conf Section Monitor Identifier Default Monitor Option PreferredMode 1440x900 EndSection # 50-screen.conf Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Device Default Device Monitor Default Monitor EndSection xorg.conf can be split up into 3 files named as per the comments and put into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.
