In the bad case, the 1600x1200 mode is getting picked. The mode comes from the EDID in your monitor: (II) RADEON(0): clock: 260.0 MHz Image Size: 54 x 3688 mm (II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1600 h_sync: 1664 h_sync_end 1856 h_blank_end 2160 h_border: 17 (II) RADEON(0): v_active: 1200 v_sync: 1201 v_sync_end 1204 v_blanking: 1250 v_border: 0 The physical size is obviously wrong. Does your monitor support 1600x1200? We'd have to add a quirk for your monitor if the 1600x1200 mode is indeed bogus.
