Running `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' resulted in a much smaller xorg.conf, and the problem went away. It also went away when removing the VertSync option, because the VGA-0 output then supported a 1024x768 resolution. The VGA output is still there, but it causes no harm. I suspect that the problematic patch might actually have the benefit of enabling VGA output on my laptop by default, so 1024x768 projectors will now just work. My xorg.conf is managed by dexconf; perhaps trigger a reconfigure of xorg.conf on upgrade of the ati driver...? But then, a lot of people have the ati driver installed but use a different one. So perhaps the only safe solution is to actually detect when VGA devices are attached. -- Tim Retout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
