Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.7.197-1 Description: Using an old 15" TFT-LCD monitor reporting correct EDID version 1.0 information as per ddcprobe a manual edit of xorg.conf is required. Otherwise resolution is wrong rendering the GUI unusable especially with KDE and KDM or GDM login.
Advice given in XStrikeForce about ModeLine entry in Monitor section is incomplete, only forcing proper graphic size. A DisplaySize entry must be included as well in the Monitor section or else fonts are too large in GDM login and KDE. The ddcprobe gives correct EDID information, but xdpyinfo and xrandr do not concur as they do with the previous xserver-xorg-video-ati version 1:6.6.193-3. Instead they report ridiculously incorrect dimensions. Below are the results of ddcprobe and xdpyinfo/xrandr before and after "upgrade". The correctly working xorg.conf is listed last. This need for manual configuration using hardware correctly reporting EDID is an unacceptable regression. Please fix.
