Same result with 1:6.6.192-1. > Or you feel more adventurous, you could try the randr-1.2 branch of the > upstream git repository since it should be better at discovering > modes/resolutions/... automatically without the need for anything in > xorg.conf. I have some packages of this somewhere if you want to try it. The latter certainly will be a problem -- I have good reason for wanting to supply my own modelines -- I have a fixed frequency external monitor. I don't need better discovery -- this all used to work, and I've already worked out which modelines will work on my monitor, and X will not do a better job than me at detecting necessary modelines from a monitor that doesn't do DDC. This used to work prior to 6.9 -- I haven't changed anything to do with my carefully crafted modelines, so those should continue to be working. -- Tim Connors | Anglo-Australian Observatory http://site.aao.gov.au/twc | Coonabarabran, NSW 2357, Australia | Tel: +61 2 6842 6286 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
