Oddly enough, that's the one thing that worked just right here with xorg 7.3. My 1280x1024 monitor comes up in that mode. > My xorg.conf: > http://ihsan.dogan.ch/files/Xorg-7.3/xorg.conf That's an old-style xorg.conf, but both the mga and radeon drivers are xrandr-1.2. Some of the changes needing to be made are described here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 Note particularly the suggestions on removing HorizSync, VertRefresh, and ModeLines from the Monitor section. For a single monitor, I'd set the virtual screen size to the same size as the monitor: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubSection EndSection One thing that may have helped me is that I went through the logs and removed everything unnecessary or duplicated from my xorg.conf: http://www.wonkity.com/%7ewblock/mgapatch/xorg.conf A single monitor setup would not have that Option "Position" "1024 0" entry in the Monitor section. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
