I use KVM and I have this problem too with my Compaq WF1907 monitor
(which can do 1440x...@60hz). It exists in both 9.04 and 9.10 (can't
remember if I had that problem too before 9.04). My workaround is to add
a Subsection after the line Default Depth 24. In my case my Screen
settings in /etc/X11/xorg.con is now
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
### the following does not exist in the default configuration
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900_60.0"
EndSubSection
### end adding
EndSection
I think users should be allowed to choose either use automatic or fixed
configuration (good settings in last boot) by changing a file in
/etc/default, just like one can choose to use DHCP or fixed IP for their
network card.
Have to say this thing drove me insane and I am glad I found a way to
fix it.
