I basically can't get that monitor working with the native resolution

monitor model and the tool shows that resolution. After I save and
restart X, it goes to something else 1280x1024 or 1600x1200! I need to
configure this on i810 and another radeon card. Does anyone have this
working, could you share your xorg.conf ? Is the modeline dependant on
the graphics card ? How can I force a certain mode ?
Does this qualify to be a bug ?
I hope at this day and age, I don't need to generate custom modelines
& such !
Any help or pointers are highly appreciated
Interesting. I have a similar problem with a laptop running Fedora 8
(Dell D630) and a monitor like that connected to the DVI socket on the
port extender -- the same monitor works just fine when I use the VGA
connection.
Since I want to use the VGA connection for a different machine I
eventually tracked down the problem and I have this in my xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "dvi"
Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"
UseModes "1680x1050"
ModeLine "1680x1050" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089
-hsync +vsync
EndSection
That's enough to get it so that the monitor will display 1680x1050 but
for reasons beyond the ken of man (or me at least) I have to use xrandr
to get the resolution right once I've logged in. I ought to be worried
about this, but the problem seems to have been fixed (mostly) in Fedora
9. As I say, this is only an issue if I'm using the DVI connection
though -- I blame the monitor (well, why not).
