Yep, latest sid. xdpyinfo still reports: dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (321x241 millimeters) /var/log/Xorg.0.log acknowledges that it is picking up the right Monitor section in xorg.conf, (++) ServerLayout "IBM" (**) |-->Screen "IBM" (0) (**) | |-->Monitor "IBM" (**) | |-->Device "ATI mobility" that monitor section has 3 modelines defined: Section "Monitor" Identifier "IBM" VendorName "IBM 19inch+Sun 19inch" ...
