Hi, I looked into an old backup of my xorg.conf and found the reason why it was working on etch. I was using the proprietary nvidia driver and had the following line added manually to the device section:
Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck, NoEdidMaxPClkCheck"
Using this line and the 'nvidia' driver the screen works properly on a
fresh etch installation and a fresh install of lenny on the same
machine. It also works with the free ati driver (when connected to an
ATI card) on etch and lenny.
On both releases the free 'nv' driver fails to set the correct
resolution and shows the behavior reported in previously.
Cheers,
Michael
