Since you monitor does not provide an edid there is no way to know what it's "Preferred" mode is so the xserver guesses based on the sync ranges and mode in your screen section. See the "Forcing a preferred mode" section of this page for info on how to specify your preferred mode with randr 1.2: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 > > 4. for every xrandr-command i get two short flickerings of my monitor (black > monitor) with ver. 1.4.2.

Dynamic reconfiguration only came along with xrandr 1.2 compatible versions of the driver. Unfortunately, your monitor does not provide an edid, so ddc doesn't work. As such the driver falls back to using load detection to detect if a monitor is attached or not. This is required in your case as the monitor does not seem to have an edid. This didn't happen with older version of the driver since, they did not support dynamic reconfiguration. In the old version, the driver detected the attached displays once at start up and that was it. Once the driver was up there way no way to dynamically turn an output on or off, etc. -- 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
