Looking at the Xorg log it appears that the AUO display does not have everything needed in it's EDID info. Either it's EDID info is incomplete or it does not support the standard VESA modes needed (such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). -- Dell Studio 15 Doesn't Boot, White Screen of Death https://bugs.laun

I have a hunch that it has to do with the LCD panels manufactured by AUO. I'm no developer, and this is the first time I've tried to interpret Xorg.0.log, but from what I can tell I believe that the line [quote](II) VESA(0): Manufacturer: AUO Model: 8174 Serial#: 0[/quote] refers to the LCD us
