Same problem here, I just upgraded from XFree86 4.2 to 4.3 (testing packages for Debian), everything was fine in 4.2 and 4.1. > > Pressing it a couple more times, produces the perfect resolution on my LCD > > screen. > Tell us exactly how many times. And you're using CTRL+ALT+MINUS, right? It seems to work (for me) only in the 640x480 mode, a few times it worked in 1280x1024 after cycling through all the resolutions, at the moment it does not in Debian, but it did in Knoppix (also 4.3, I think from the same source). The fun thing is, this worked with the very same config for XFree86 4.2. And it works when I change the driver from savage to vesa. This makes me thing that the video modes are correct. The modelines, the whole config, is created by the debian package. I would stay with the vesa driver, I only think the picture is a bit more fuzzy with it than it used to be in 4.2 with the savage driver. > > Shuttle SK41G with ProSavage chipset same here > > IIyama 4315 LCD monitor (using analogue input) - its manual lists a > > 1280x1024, 79.976kHz, 75.025Hz, 135MHZ mode SyncMaster 171s with very similar specs (well, my manual isn't that specific, and it says 60Hz, but the box says [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I did have this mode working previously). Of course I tried limiting it to 60Hz. > > # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" > > I've always wondered what this meant... Of course, here it's a comment, but > still, what's "nodeadkeys"? It means when you press the "~" on your keyboard, you get a "~" and don't have to press "space" to get it, or another key to get a "~" on top of that character. Also for '" and maybe more. I think this layout only exists for german keyboards, but somebody will probably correct me.
