Recommended to also submit bug report to xpert and/or dri-devel also, so more developers are aware of the issue. I don't have an 8500LE to test with, just an 8500. I'll test it soon on the 8500 though.
Submitted to xpert as suggested by fearlous leader :)
After further testing I'm now stating that this Radeon 8500 LE 128 can't do > 1400x1050 in 15, 16, 24
Hmm, your above config file is set to 1280, not 1400.. Can you attach a config and log from trying it with 1400? That's what I wanted to see, was your failing config and log.. the one attached isn't for that.
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1600x1200" (width too large for virtual size) (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1600x1200" (width too large for virtual size) (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (width too large for virtual size) (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (width too large for virtual size) (II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (width too large for virtual size) (--) RADEON(0): Virtual size is 1280x1024 (pitch 1280) You've set the virtual size to 1280x1024, so any mode larger than that is too big. Again, the config file and log file attached do not match an X session that you're describing as problematic.

This isn't relevant to the problem, but I noticed you are forcing video memory size in your config with: VideoRam 131072 That line isn't needed (or should not be needed). Again, thats not related to the problem at hand though, just thought I would mention it.
The log file is showing the modes you have set in your config file, and shows 1400x1050 is set as the virtual size below. The first mode listed should end up also being the native default starting resolution too: (--) RADEON(0): Virtual size is 1400x1050 (pitch 1408) (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1400x1050": 155.8 MHz, 81.5 kHz, 74.8 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1400x1050" 155.80 1400 1464 1784 1912 1050 1052 1064 1090 +hsync +vsync (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1280x1024": 135.0 MHz, 80.0 kHz, 75.0 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x1024" 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1280x960": 148.5 MHz, 85.9 kHz, 85.0 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x960" 148.50 1280 1344 1504 1728 960 961 964 1011 +hsync +vsync (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1152x864": 121.5 MHz, 77.5 kHz, 85.1 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1152x864" 121.50 1152 1216 1344 1568 864 865 868 911 +hsync -vsync (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1024x768": 94.5 MHz, 68.7 kHz, 85.0 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1024x768" 94.50 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "800x600": 56.3 MHz, 53.7 kHz, 85.1 Hz (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "800x600" 56.30 800 832 896 1048 600 601 604 631 +hsync +vsync (**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "640x480": 74.2 MHz, 85.9 kHz, 85.1 Hz (D) (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "640x480" 74.25 640 672 752 864 480 480 482 505 doublescan +hsync +vsync
While running with this configuration, can you please run: xdpyinfo > xdpyinfo.log And also attach that file please. Also, what is it that you are doing to confirm the resolution that is running on your display? I'm just curious because the bottom of your log file also shows 1400x1050 resolution being set via the following modeline: GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 155800 GetModeLine - hdsp: 1400 hbeg: 1464 hend: 1784 httl: 1912 vdsp: 1050 vbeg: 1052 vend: 1064 vttl: 1090 flags: 5 With this config file, your system should be running in 1400x1050. However looking at the initial bug report comments again: >Steps to Reproduce: >1.Either from GUI Display change prog in RH 8,edit XF86Config >2.Change default depth etc - trying 1600x1200x24 or by 15 or 16 >3./sbin/telinit 5 after /sbin/telinit 3 or log off and log on You're stating you can't do 1600x1200 here, but your config file is not configured to do 1600x1200. Please run redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig, and choose 1600x1200 resolution, then save it, and restart X. It should just work IMHO. If not, attach the new log and config file, and xdpyinfo output.
As per advice I ran redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig, chose 1600x1200 resolution, save it and restarted X Same thing "OUT OF RANGE" See attached XFree86.0.log, XFree86 config and xdpyinfo

Apparently DRI bug as per some hint made once by someone. Or perhaps the card can't handle it. Either way I have no more time to spend on this. Dri-Devel doesn't respond on the bug either. Apparently then it's not a bug to those in the know... Just a buggy radeon 8500 LE
