Xorg on FreeBSD thinks it is setting 2560x1440, but my NEC PA272W monitor reports 1280x1440@60 and uses only half the screen width. The compressed display is unusuable.
Any ideas? The monitor works with a mid-2011 Mac Mini at 2560x1440@30. It used to work with xorg until FreeBSD updated X server code last last year. I don’t remember what refresh rate was used then. The log below is from NVIDIA, but ATI fails more or less the same way. I just updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers and it’s still broken. I tried a different cable with no change in behavior. I didn’t try a gold-plated Monster cable. My guess is it assumes I want 2560x1440@60 and fails oddly when it can’t go that fast. I’m content with 30 Hz, if that’s the only problem.
