With 7.3 the ModeLine is ignored. X starts in a lower resolution and flickers badly. >How-To-Repeat: Put something like this in the "Monitor" section of xorg.conf: ModeLine "1200x960@83" 131.00 1200 1204 1324 1588 960 961 964 992 Option "PreferredMode" "1200x960@83" And repeat the identifier "1200x960@83" as Modes in the "Screen" section, "Display" subsections. Start X and see it come up in 1152x768 at 55Hz or something. >Fix: Workaraound: Create a subdirectory /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d and put a (executable) text file in it containing something like this: xrandr --newmode "1200x960@83" 131.00 1200 1204 1324 1588 960 961 964 992 xrandr --addmode VGA "1200x960@83" xrandr --output VGA --mode "1200x960@83" However, I'm experiencing several issues when using RANDR to set the resolutions: - It only works on the session, i.e. after you log in with xdm / gdm. Xdm itself is still displayed in the wrong resolution and flickers badly. - In the session, mplayer no longer works with XV video output. Instead you get a blue window now. X11 output still works, but sucks. - In QEMU, when starting Windows, the mouse pointer disappears when you click on the desktop which makes it unusable. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
