Hi ytene,
Thanks for the detailed bug report! It looks fairly clear that this is
another case of bug 3731, based on seeing the "Generic Monitor" in your
xorg.conf. The xresprobe.txt is also empty of content. I've found this
could happen for a few reasons: I suspect ddcprobe (which xresprobe
depends on) sometimes fails to work - you could check by trying to run
it and see if it segfaults. Another reason this can happen is if for
whatever reason your monitor does not provide EDID information for
whatever reason, or if your graphics card or its driver does not carry
it through.
While there have been a number of simpler workarounds suggested, the
only one that seems to work reliably is what you did - manually hack the
xorg.conf file. One thing to be sure is to check the refresh rates
listed for your monitor are correct according to your documentation
(sometimes the detection mechanism detects them incorrectly.) On a
positive note, 3731 is my #1 priority bug, and I'm very hopeful we can
get a solution to it for gutsy.
