Wow your monitor appears to give out bad EDID info it claims a 640x350 mode First detailed timing is preferred mode (II) intel(0): clock: 25.2 MHz Image Size: 376 x 301 mm (II) intel(0): h_active: 640 h_sync: 688 h_sync_end 784 h_blank_end 800 h_border: 0 (II) intel(0): v_active: 350 v_sync: 350 v_sync_end 352 v_blanking: 449 v_border: 0 ouch... I wonder can we add some sort of EDID quirk to the server for this monitor...
Whops. And he actually does work whith this :-O Question is, should we use this mode :-) Or simply cut everything below 640*480 ? I don´t think there are displays or graphics cards that can`t display standard VGA ?
we have an edid quirk for this brand of monitor already.. I'll try and fix it and let you know ...
Has the fix landed in devel already ?
I've pushed an update into F8 updates-testing, also the next time devel rebases from upstream the fix will appear there as well.. xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-36.fc8 will be the updates-testing rpm when it arrives.
I pulled it from koji and it works like a charm :-) Thank you very much.
