this seems to be a problem for a 19" LCD... I have set only...

                Modes    "1280x1024"
on this last line.

perhaps just make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the
original. Many LCD monitors aren't capable of running at resolutions
other than the one the default and I would think that the proper
resolution for a 19" LCD is 1280x1024

I can do that, but I've got the monitor manual in my hand, and it lists
the following display modes for the Starlogic 19"

Resolution	Horizontal Freq		Vertical Frequency
640x350		31.475			70.100
640x480		31.469			59.940
640x480		37.500			75.000
720x400		31.469			70.087
800x600		37.879			60.317
800x600		46.875			75.000
1024x768	48.363			60.004
1024x768	60.023			75.029
1280x1024	63.981			60.020
1280x1024	79.978			75.024



Some people on the test list seemed to have success when they commented out the vertical and horizontal sync lines, which made their systems perform better with DDC detection (whatever that is specifically) you might want to try commenting out the lines and giving it a try by restarting the X server after editing the file.

Also, to get useful information from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, you need to copy this information somewhere before you start the server again. This log is written new each time the server is started. You might be able to get helpful information from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old file which will be the previous session before your working GUI. You might want to grab that log file.

The safest way to work out X problems is to start or telinit the system into runlevel 3 and then log into the terminal as a regular user and start X with the startx script.

If all else fails, you might try the ati-fg?? driver from a repo somewhere. Of course chances are the upstream source for the open driver needs to be relayed that there is a problem. If you can get a log for X with what is failing, it might help correct the problem with the failure information.

Well fix that in the next (upgrade, update, patch release, service pack).
