Title:
mga driver no longer will display 1600x1200
Status in X.Org X server:
Invalid
Status in xserver-xorg-video-mga package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
It seems that the newest xorg driver for MGA devices no longer support
1600x1200 resolution.
I've only found one place on the net that mentions this issue, they seem to
believe that it is the latest release of xorg.
I'm using Feisty on a fairly old machine.
I've removed all the modeline statement in the xorg.conf file to let
the VESA preset timing modes in my ViewSonic GS790 monitor control the
modes.
My video card is a MGA G400 Max (32M) duel monitor card, but I'm only
using a single monitor.
This always worked fine previous installs that were not Ubuntu based.
The pertinent lines in my xorg.cone are below.
