Hi! I am having some problems getting the display mode I want from one of my machines. It has a Dell E207WFP widescreen LCD, with a built-in resolution of 1680×1050. The problem is that I am unable to get X to display in that resolution, no matter how I try to configure ut. I have an ATI Radeon 9600. I am using the VGA screen through a KVM switch.
I added Modes "1680x1050" as the only mode in all the SubSection "Display" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added the monitor information I have found after googling for information: HorizSync 30-83 VertRefresh 56-75 with these settings I can get 1360×768. If I change VertRerfesh to 56-60 I get 1280×800, None of these modes are listed in the xorg.conf file. Is it possible to force X to use a particular resolution? I can see this in the Xorg log: (II) RADEON(0): DDC Type: 3, Detected Monitor Type: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Found color CRT connected to primary DAC in RADEONProbeOutputModes (II) RADEON(0): Adding Screen mode: 1680x1050 (II) RADEON(0): Total number of valid Screen mode(s) added: 1 - so it seems like it is reading the correct settings, but a bit further down it says: (II) RADEON(0): Detected Monitor Type: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 connected (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 disconnected (II) RADEON(0): Output S-video disconnected (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using initial mode 1280x800 I cannot see any log messages about why it is not using the setting I have chosen. I am running Debian Sid. It should be fairly up-to-date.
