Wait a minute... I'm thinking your video timing may be off as I kinda ran into a situation with EDID feedback I was testing out the ATI Radeon cards at various resolutions with various monitors (EDID related). Ok, review the modelines and the driver being used (usually either VESA or radeon (ati) in your case) in your xorg.conf file between snv_111b and snv_118. Check it against the "cvt" output for 1920x1080x60 (something like that) and your true monitor specs for that resolution (make sure it can handle it - which it should). Type this in: "cvt 1920 1080 60" Result: "Modeline 1920x1080x60".... - hsync +vsync Action: Use this info for your xorg.conf modeline setup comparison. Now, once you get things squared away you can also try the command "xrandr". This will tell you what is your current resolution, default resolution, and maximum resolution. Compare this information against your **TRUE** monitor resolution specs. There is a bug between native Xorg/Mesa-related/closed video drivers and EDID probing that seem to either read EDID partially or incorrectly from some video monitors versus what the true monitor's EDID would report normally (if the monitor's EDID worked correctly (sometimes they don't)). Hope that helped you a bit more, Ken Mays -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
