Is that a bug in the driver or is my monitor sending bogus information? > Does your monitor support 1600x1200? We'd have to add a quirk for > your monitor if the 1600x1200 mode is indeed bogus. According the manual it supports 1600x1...@80hz, but I have never pushed it that far. (I'm squinting enough as it is. :-) It's an Iiyama Vision Master 450. Another thing: after fixing things by adding the Modes lines there was a fonts problem: all text in the Icewm manus and dialogs, and also GTK and Qt widgets (but *not* FLTK widgets) was rendered as a minute scribble. It looked as though everything was rendered in 2-3 pixel type! The fix was to uncomment the line "#DisplaySize 360 270 # mm" in the configuration. I think that forces the server to calculate the DPI from the real display size. Are any of these problems to do with my card not being recognised, or is that a separate issue? Thanks for your help.
