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
