Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
This problem is also apparent in the 1:6.7.192-4 driver, is related to the
xrandr changes, and might be better filed vs. that.
My xorg.conf specifies:

When the xserver starts, I get this in my log:

(II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using initial mode 1280x768
after xf86InitialConfiguration
and sure enough it sets my resolution to 1280x768, even though it's not a
listed mode in my xorg.conf.
I figured out how to work around this-- I can either use xrandr, or add the
line:
Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864"
To the 'monitor' section of the xorg.conf. The preferred mode solution works,
however that leaves it's own oddness in my logs:
Midway in the xorg.0.log:
(II) RADEON(0): ref_freq: 2700, min_pll: 20000, max_pll: 50000, xclk: 40000,
sclk: 425.000000, mclk: 432.000000
(II) RADEON(0): PLL parameters: rf=2700 rd=7 min=20000 max=50000; xclk=40000
(II) RADEON(0): Bios Connector table:
(II) RADEON(0): Port0: DDCType-3, DACType-0, TMDSType--1, ConnectorType-1
(II) RADEON(0): Port2: DDCType-3, DACType-1, TMDSType--1, ConnectorType-5
(II) RADEON(0): Port3: DDCType-2, DACType-1, TMDSType-0, ConnectorType-2
(II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using monitor section Generic Monitor
(**) RADEON(0): Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864"
(II) RADEON(0): I2C bus "VGA_DDC" initialized.
(II) RADEON(0): Output S-video has no monitor section
(II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 has no monitor section
(II) RADEON(0): I2C bus "DVI_DDC" initialized.
(II) RADEON(0): TMDS PLL from BIOS: 16500 a0112
(II) RADEON(0): Port0:
Monitor -- AUTO
Connector -- VGA
DAC Type -- Primary
TMDS Type -- None
DDC Type -- VGA_DDC
OK, it sees the Preffered Mode and sets it.
Late in the xorg.0.log:
(II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled
message.
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used
(--) RandR disabled
OK- xrandr ignores it, but no longer sets the 1280 x 768 resolution, which is
fine, but makes for a confusing log trail.
So basically, setting PreferredMode fixes my problem, but:
1) If I have modes specified, why not honour those? (As xorg (and xfree86) has
done sine dinosaurs roamed the earth.)
2) The logs I get are confusing on the subject.
