The automatic detection of the capabilities of the LCD panel doesn't
work correctly. Which means that you need to specify this in the
configuration file for this to work.
In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, in the "Monitor" section try to specify
something like this (taken from my config file here on my Inspiron
8000 with M4 and 1400x1050 panel :)/ You need to fuzz it into the
structure in your own configuration file, the important part is
specifying something sensible for VertRefresh and HorizSync:
----
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
VertRefresh 40-110
HorizSync 28-90
Option "DPMS"
Modeline "1400x1050" 107.85 1400 1450 1500 1999 1050 1058 1070 1150
EndSection
----
The 1400x1050 modeline is probably redundant now, when I first set
this up almost two years ago it was needed. :)
