Here is what part of my xorg.conf looks like:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "G90f-2"
Option "DPMS"
Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI RV350 AS [Radeon 9550]"
Monitor "G90f-2"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
#Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
As you can see the "modes" are commented out, and monitor
has a "preferredmode". Unfortunately I don't remember what
blog post pointed me in this direction and I don't know what
variant methods might work, if this particular setup do the job.
Hopefully this will be of some help.
Cheers,
Kelly Clowers
