Just add the preferred mode to your config and be done with it. or change it on the fly with xrandr: xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 > "You can use the preferred mode option in your monitor section to > hardcode your preferred mode if you don't like what the xserver > picks." > Sometimes a problem is so complicated that it comes down to personal > preference.

You monitor is a CRT and does not list a preferred mode, so it comes down to what mode should be picked. Most people would say [EMAIL PROTECTED] is pretty rough on the eyes. I would argue that based on your monitor's EDID, [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be the preferred mode. 1280x960 happens to be right in the middle. Some people like 800x600. That's why there is a preferred mode option. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
