I don't see anything wrong in your config, except maybe the HorizSync and VertRefresh that you could try removing. The log says: (II) RADEON(0): Supported VESA Video Modes: (II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) RADEON(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] and (II) RADEON(0): Using hsync ranges from config file (II) RADEON(0): Using vrefresh ranges from config file (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "640x480" 31.50 640 656 720 840 480 481 484 500 -hsync -vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "640x480" 25.20 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "720x400" 28.32 720 738 846 900 400 412 414 449 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x1024" 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1024x768" 78.80 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "800x600" 49.50 800 816 896 1056 600 601 604 625 +hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "640x480" 35.00 640 664 728 816 480 483 487 507 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "800x600" 56.75 800 848 928 1056 600 603 607 633 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1024x768" 94.50 1024 1096 1200 1376 768 771 775 809 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x960" 148.25 1280 1368 1504 1728 960 963 967 1011 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x1024" 159.50 1280 1376 1512 1744 1024 1027 1034 1078 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1600x1200" 204.75 1600 1720 1888 2176 1200 1203 1207 1255 -hsync +vsync (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1024x768" 94.50 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync As I understand it, the display does not say it supports 1400x1050 (or the server filtered it out for some reason). Does it work better if you change to a 1600x1200 or 1280x1024 modeline? Your ModeLine has been accepted fine (II) RADEON(0): Printing probed modes for output VGA-0 (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1400x1050"x85.3 184.00 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100 +hsync +vsync (93.9 kHz) But later, we get: (WW) RADEON(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used So there's something preventing the server from accepting 1400x1050 in the beginning, but I don't where... > However, this is not the best solution, because that way, I get > incorrect DPI. Did this problem really appear during this upgrade to 6.7.192. Could it be related to a recent upgrade of gdm which changed the way the X server is started? There's a way to con?igure it, but I don't remember how. Or maybe it is just 6.7.192 not detecting DPI correctly. By the way, it would be nice to report bugs using the reportbug tool. Having to open .gz files is much more annoying than having all files stored inline in the mail :) If you don't like reportbug, please just attach the output of /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1 without gzipping it. Thanks! Brice
