I have a BenQ FP231-W external display, which supports many resolutions up to 1920x1200. When I start X without the display attached, and then attach the display and run xrandr, xrandr does not show VGA-0 as supporting any video mode greater that 1024x768. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-10.fc9.ppc How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into X without an external monitor attached. 2. Attach my BenQ FP231W external display to the VGA port of the iBook. 3. Run xrandr. Actual Results: [toojays@fuzz ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024 LVDS connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 60.0 + 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 VGA-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 496mm x 310mm 1024x768 75.1* 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Expected Results: Additional info:

This is the "expected results", which I can achieve if the external monitor is connected to the VGA port when X starts.

I want to be able to do this even if my monitor was not connected when I started X.

you need to set a virtual line for now, as the driver can't do dynamic memory allocation yet. http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html describe adding it.
