Perhaps XF86 is somehow trying to display 1600 at higher-than-60Hz ?? The LCD can only display 1600x1200 at 60Hz according to the manual, which is also its native and "optimal" resolution. > > The display is fuzzy - as in actively blurry like a CRT scanning at the > > wrong frequency or something (it's not just out of focus) - at all but > > 1024x768 (or something near that). > > > > According to the NEC manual, specs are: > > > > Section "Monitor" > > Identifier "NEC" > > DisplaySize 410 310 # mm > > HorizSync 31.5-91.1 > > VertRefresh 50-85 > > VendorName "NEC" > > ModelName "LCD2080UX+" > > Option "DPMS" > > EndSection > > make sure that stanza corresponds to your XF86Config file Actually, the manual just had the H/V sync rates, and the above is straight from my XF86Config-4 - I just checked the CD-manual though, and the figures are correct. > - check the dpms too How do I check this? I tried commenting out the two DPMS lines (one for each screen) and running at 1600 (Xinerama) but this had no effect: produces the same effect - internal LCD works, external is really bad antialiasing at lower res, so cannot read. > - i'd comment out DisplaySize and see what happens I have done so. No effect. > wrong settings for the lcd probably wont hurt it If I comment out the above sync/refresh numbers, the same results occur (works in 800x600, not in others, etc). > wrong setting for old fashion crt tube might let out the nice blue > perfume, after which, it wont work anymore Good to know.
