Makes no sense. The issue are the HorizSync values, not any missing modelines. With 30-37 kHz not more than 800x600 modes are possible. Now suddenly 28-107 kHz are used. Apparently you added these values to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf, since there is no xorg.conf available to be read. > The only way I've found so far (running LXDE or KDE4) to get out of whichever > of 800x600 or 2048x1536 in which > started, is via selection from krandrtray.

Standard modes like 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 & 1280x1024 are always added. > What's the secret to getting PreferredMode honored? It's not used by mga driver. Option "PreferredMode" "string" This optional entry specifies a mode to be marked as the pre- ferred initial mode of the monitor.

But who is still using it with a non-RANDR 1.2 capable driver like mga?
