Has anyone succeeded in getting X to use a resolution of 1920x1200
with an ATI RADEON Xpress 200 graphics controller?  I have a nifty 
23" Acer AL2416W monitor which is capable of 1920x1200, but X is not
giving it to me.  Interestingly, it logs:

(II) VESA(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) VESA(0): clock: 154.0 MHz   Image Size:  518 x 324 mm
(II) VESA(0): h_active: 1920  h_sync: 1968  h_sync_end 2000 h_blank_end 2080 h_border: 0
(II) VESA(0): v_active: 1200  v_sync: 1203  v_sync_end 1209 v_blanking: 1235 v_border: 0

... but despite my efforts at persuading it, it ends up giving me:

(**) Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
(--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 1600x1200 (pitch 1600)

I've even tried building an explicit Modeline using the values given above;
still no luck.

If anyone has made this work, I'd like to see your XF86Config file.

In case it matters:
  NetBSD version: 3.0
  port: amd64
  XFree86 Version 4.5.0
  Release Date: 16 March 2005
  Build Date: 18 December 2005
