Hi, I'm having a weird problem with modes on my Dell Inspiron 4000 with an 8MB ATI Rage Mobility M3 (aka. LF) and a 1400x1050 TFT panel. I cannot get the 4.2.0-0pre1v1 X server to use any other modes than 1400x1050 and 1280x1024. With 4.1.0-17 on the other hand, I get 1400x1050, 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480.
The device, monitor and screen sections of my config file are as follows: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Rage Mobility M3" Driver "ati" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "14.1inch LCD" HorizSync 30-100 VertRefresh 50-100 DisplaySize 285.7 214.3 # -- 1400x1050 -- # 1400x1050 @ 60Hz, 65.8 kHz hsync Modeline "1400x1050" 129 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100 +HSync +VSync # 1400x1050 @ 70Hz, 76.8 kHz hsync Modeline "1400x1050" 151 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100 +HSync +VSync # 1400x1050 @ 75Hz, 82.3 kHz hsync Modeline "1400x1050" 162 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100 +HSync +VSync # 1400x1050 @ 85Hz, 93.2 kHz hsync Modeline "1400x1050" 184 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100 +HSync +VSync EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "ATI Rage Mobility M3" Monitor "14.1inch LCD" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" # EndSubSection EndSection A diff of the mode detection at startup between 4.1 and 4.2 (only the xserver-xfree86 package was downgraded for the 4.1 test).
