Since I have no experience in compiling xserver / drivers, I would like to stay with the Debian packages. Or is there any clean way to try another xserver in Debian?

This first command (newmode) works, but the second fails. $ xrandr --addmode VGA_1 "1920x1080n" X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 155 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 18 () Serial number of failed request: 17 Current serial number in output stream: 18 Oliver _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
