This is an interesting bug I've come across. When using the Radeon
graphics driver doing full screen 3d on a DVI port. Output is only
displayed at 1280x1024 (native) resolution for the display.

Plug the display into the D-sub connector, and the display is fine. Plug
in a dvi cable and you get no display. Raise the resolution to 1280x1024
and you get display. Lower the resolution, to say 640x480, no display. 

Here's the kicker. I've only noticed this on one of the two lcd's I have
to test. A samsung 172T. 3d display works fine with my benq 783. 
Unfortunately, they're different cables, and I haven't been able to test
with the same cable to remove that variable from the problem. 

Anyone have any ideas? Would mode setting code be setting an out of spec
mode on the DVI port that the Benq is handling more gracefully? perhaps
sending an analog signal on the DVI output for 3d applications? 

My tests for full screen 3d are bzflag, Wolfenstein 3d and my own opengl
applications. The particular card I'm using is a generic "power color"
Radeon 9200se. 

Cheers
