After fiddling around with it for most of a day and trying, finding and calculating modelines to no end, I finally realized that the monitor was actually reporting what it wants for a modeline. Check the EDID information reported in /var/log/Xorg.0.log Here is the relevant section of the Xorg.0.log with my Acer AL2223W monitor: QUOTE: (II) I810(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) I810(0): clock: 149.0 MHz Image Size: 474 x 296 mm (II) I810(0): h_active: 1680 h_sync: 1784 h_sync_end 1960 h_blank_end 2240 h_b order: 0 (II) I810(0): v_active: 1050 v_sync: 1053 v_sync_end 1059 v_blanking: 1089 v_b order: 0 (II) I810(0): Ranges: V min: 56 V max: 76 Hz, H min: 31 H max: 82 kHz, PixCloc k max 150 MHz (II) I810(0): Monitor name: AL2223W (II) I810(0): ACER END OF QUOTE Now here is my modeline: Modeline "1680x1050" 149 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 Note that it consists of the mode name, then the clock rate, then the four numbers from the h_ line, then the four numbers from the v_line, in order. I put this modeline as the last line in the Monitor section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I added "1680x1050" to the Modes line of the Screen section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I hope this helps get you on the right track. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
