Hi, it appears that 'X knows best!'
I've got a Dell laptop with a radeon mobility LY chipset with a 1400x1050 panel, and a big external monitor. In windows, the monitor runs happily at 1600x1200 at 75Hz refresh. In a default X config, the panel works fine at 1400x1050, but, if I attach the monitor, DDC detects it and forces the max resolution down to 1024x768 (even though the DDC messages happily show higher res modes as available) If I disable DDC, and configure the monitor sync rates, it'll go up to 1400x1050, but that syncs at 60Hz, which gives one mean headache. Basically, the Radeon drivers is refusing to allow a crt mode which is higher res than the panel (which is closed, and not in use). The error message is (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1600x1200 is out of range. Valid mode should be between 640x480-1400x1050 and I can't find out how to either disable the panel check, or override it with a forced resolution :( Anyone out there know of any tricks I could try?
