XFree86 logfile
I've seen a simliar problem with an IBM T30 plugged in to a docking station. The refresh rate would not go over 60hz on the external monitor. Sounds more like a configuration problem to me rather than an XFree86 bug. Could you report this issue to the xfree86 mailing list first, and see what other developers think about this whom might have such hardware available to them for testing purposes (I do not have any laptop hardware available for testing/troubleshooting). If an XFree86 developer can acknowledge this as a bug, then perhaps it can be investigated further. The correct diff from the installed XF86Config is as follows: 104a105,106 > Option "CloneHSync" "30.0-95.0" > Option "CloneVRefresh" "50.0-160.0" 114c116 < Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "64 0x480" --- > Modes "1600x1200" The above gets me 75Hz @ 1600x1200 on my external display. I initially had problems with CloneHSync and CloneVRefresh because I had spaces around the dash characters. This apparently isn't allowed in the radeon driver options; don't know yet if that's considered a bug. Note that the installer put spaces around the dashes in the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines; are you sure that's OK? |
