It supposedly supports DDC, but I guess it's a bit flakey. Anyway, I
manually set the parameters in the XF86Config file, now it's working
fine.

My /var/log/XFree86.0.log has this line
(II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 50  V max: 160 Hz, H min: 30  H max: 95 kHz, PixClock 
max 210 MHz
which seems to be related to this nearby prior line
(II) RADEON(0): I2C bus "DDC" initialized.

Note that the lines have "(II)", not "(**)".

I suppose that if your monitor supports the I2C/DDC protocol (AKA PnP?),
then X can get the "Ranges" as above and use it.  I had hand-entered the
same numbers from the Monitor's spec sheet, so I don't know if it
actually works automatically.

It's working now, I did have to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh
info manually. Seems I recall reading something about X not needing
those anymore after v4.1.0, but maybe not.
Anyway,
Thanks to all.

First, I think you need the vertical and horizontal frequencies in the 
Monitor section-
Mine is:
HorizSync   30.0 - 95.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0

This is specific to my kSony Trinitron MultiscanE500 - Yours will be different.
I found that the default Depth did nothing for me, so I didn't enter it.
Then, you will have to experiment with the Depth and Mode settings until 
you get one that works - this may be dependent on the video memory of your 
card.
I got mine to work with Depth 8 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728" and Depth 
16 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728"  ; my card is supposed to support 
1600x1200 and depth of 24 (I think), but what the hell, it works quite well.
Good luck,
PJ

Okay, I have X running in 640x480 or 320x240 modes.
As you can see in the XFree86Config file below it is set
to display at higher resolutions. I know the monitor will
do it because the box dual-boots win2k and it runs the
graphics at 1024x768/16bit.
I added an old AGP video card, disabled the onboard video.
Why is the system ignoring the settings for the screens?

If you consult the documentation for your monitor you should find what
range of Horizontal Sync. and Vertical Refresh frequencies it can cope
with.  Insert those numbers in the monitor section above, eg:

HorizSync30.0-50.0
VertRefresh  40-90

[Be sure to use the correct figures for your particular make of
monitor: it used to be the case that running a monitor at too high a
frequency would cause it to burn up.  Nowadays, the monitor will just
blank to protect itself, but still, too high a frequency is not good
for it.]

et. voila X will be able to run at the highest resolutions your
monitor will support, rather than the very conservative defaults it's
using now.

Cheers,

Matthew
