I have a new Acer AL2216W that runs native at 1680x1050. The install
is
Suse 10 with xorg-x11-6.8.2-100.2. The video card supports 1680x1050
Oh man, I just saw what you are using ... so bad luck. I ordered one
of these monitors just 10 minutes before your first post. And I'm
running 10.0 on my desktop ...
Ok, lets try to fix it :)
Does your graphics driver provides an option to disable EDID? nVidia's
one has it. That way you tell exactly what you want from the driver,
and it does not query the monitor for the specs. I had to do this in
order to use my 16:9 lcd tv in this max resolution.
Not that I can find.
Btw, what is the video card. Did you post on their forums? Did you try
xorg forums?
The card is an Intel 915G and I have posted the problem on xorg. The
suggestions I have gotten in the past hour is:
"You should try the 2.0 release candidate versions of the intel driver
(available from X.org FTP). They are capable of programming modes
natively on Intel graphics hardware instead of relying on the video BIOS to
do it. I am using the latest 1.9.93 release on a G965 and an 855GM
(i830-generation) without any issues so far."
I have downloaded xf86-video-intel-1.9.93 but I have not compiled it yet
because I need to figure out the ./configure options for the PREFIX and
EPREFIX directories for SuSE 10.0. It looks like PREFIX should be just
"/usr" because that is where X11 is. What do you think??
Keep the faith, we will find it. This really is a beautiful monitor at the
right resolution. M$ confirms this. Right now, mine just extends 4 inches
beyond the physical display on Suse 10.
