Here's the output of xrandr: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 960, maximum 1600 x 1024 DVI connected 1440x900+0+0 306mm x 230mm 1600x1024 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 60.1 1440x900 60.2* 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 60.0 59.9 VGA connected 1280x960+0+0 408mm x 306mm 1280x1024 75.0 59.9 1280x960 59.9* 1152x864 75.0 74.8 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 "DVI" (actually connected with a VGA-adapter) is an old crappy CRT, I have been running it in 1024x768 normally. "VGA" is a new 20" LCD (Samsung 204b) with 1600x1200 native resolution. Changing the resolution of "DVI" to anything else caused the monitor to go blank, sounded like the monitor shut itself physically down to protect itself or something. Further changes did not produce a picture, but the monitor again made some noises so the xrandr commands did at least something. Changing the resolution of "VGA" worked fine, but the 1600x1200 resolution was not an allowed resolution (I don't remember the actual message). Looking at the xorg logs there seems to be some confusion about the outputs: (II) MGA(0): Output DVI using monitor section Samsung 204b (II) MGA(0): Output VGA has no monitor section but the physical sizes reported by the xrandr command above match the reality. By the way, does this http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-September/027857.html also apply to mga driver? I have been using two monitors as two separate X screens as xinerama is IMO not really an option unless the monitors are nearly similar, which really is not the case here. Anyway, this is actually a computer at work so I cannot waste too much time debugging, but if there are some specific things to test I can try to find some time... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
