Somewhat annoying that such a mode is buggy now (not everybody likes to run a bloaty 24bit mode), but who am I to complain... ;) Thanks, Andreas Mohr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Do you still have these problems with latest packages in unstable? FWIW, the DPI calculation is all handled in the xserver. All the driver does is pass along the EDID if there is one.

Do you still have these problems with latest packages in unstable? [same hardware still] No, on 1:6.12.3-1 (slightly older testing package) at least, it does not happen any more both with my usual xorg.conf and when renaming the file. It started to work relatively soon thereafter I believe (even though I didn't realize the exact event since I simply left it un-upgraded for a while). BUT, I have bad news now: Just did an upgrade to 1:6.12.5-1 testing (causing a large bunch of other xorg stuff to get updated), and directly after having started 1:6.12.3-1, the screen is now quite a LOT darker than before (in a weird twilight way, no contrast, no brightness, nothing). Reverting to 6.12.4-2 (the only one readily available) did not help either.

I got the old packages from http://boisson.homeip.net/debian/Xorg7.4/i386/ did a dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb , same issue. Then I realized that Xorg log showed Radeon entries (obviously, since it's a Radeon). Tried to downgrade to xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb , failed. Had to downgrade xserver-xorg-core (was 2:1.7.5-1) to 2:1.6.5-1 , then downgrading to xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb was possible and the screen WORKED as it used to. Trying to re-upgrade to xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb (to check whether the problem lies with -core or -radeon) unfortunately failed since it requires xserver-xorg-core (= 2:1.6.99.900).

So there's no reason why the driver would have to choose 1024x768 by default (unless we force it in xorg.conf with PreferredMode). Now we need to find out why it chooses 1280x800. NOTE that this is already with 1024x768 running activated manually. Yeah, the little start near 1024x768 70.1 confirms this :) Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
