Doesn't it just? Xorg 7.2 does not log any such "Setting screen physical size" message. > have you tried putting a default depth and mode lines in your > xorg.conf RESULT!!! I added 'DefaultDepth 8' to the Screen section and 'Modes "1280x1024"' to the Display subsection for that depth and it worked. (Although that weird "Setting screen physical size" you spotted is still there. I have no idea if it has anything to do with the problem.) Thank you so much! But, why the %^&* should this be necessary? We hear so much about how Xorg should autoconfigure itself these days, yet this all Just Worked in version 7.2, but is clearly broken in 7.4. Time to hit the Xorg list, I think.
