I've got a samsung syncmaster and on this particular monitor at least if I set menu->setup->image size to auto instead of wide (so that it gives a non-stretched screen for 3:4 resolutions) the edid comes out wrong and X doesn't recognize the high resolutions. I don't recall what is the default behavior with this monitor though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
