Hello, Thanks for this interesting piece of information.
Could you please paste the relevant section of the xorg.conf in a reply to this email, to show what has to be changed? In fact, I tried to do the change, but the X server did not startup correctly anymore. (I am back to the previous settings) Maybe I changed the wrong line in the xorg.conf file?
