Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal
I have a very cheap, old monitor (from "Smile"), which doesn't work
right with the "via" driver (the driver doesn't fall back to the values
I specified in the XF85Config-4 when DDC returns "0", or something like
that?)
The monitor seems to support DDC2 (there's information that looks like
that in the log, even though get-edid can't find any, and X also works
fine after running read-edid once, because subsequent DDC transfers by X
fail if get-edid has been run)). In the list of "supported modes",
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is mentioned.
If I try to use a 1024x768 mode however, it won't work, and just fall
back to 640x480 (which always works). If I unplug the monitor (turning
it off is not enough) from the computer, X starts fine in 1024x768 mode,
and continues to work after I plug in the monitor.
I've attached my X config and XFree86.0.log for both the "with-monitor" and
"monitorless" startup modes.
