My apologies Burkhard, I confused your email with another I am also helping out with. Please ignore the response I just posted and let me try again. Thank-you.

What is your video card actually? A better driver may give you a better selection of video modes. Have you tried deleting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (or at least temporarily renaming it) and restart Xorg without it. Looking at the whole log file from that attempt will probably be very enlightening. In the meantime, look further into your current Xorg.0.log file. The EDID stuff is *very* noticeable down near the end of the initialization and setup. (Search for EDID). You should see both a HEX dump of it, and Xorg's interpretation of it, if it is working right. I find it hard to believe that a Flat Panel Display doesn't return *any* EDID information upon a query. But, I could be wrong, and frequently am. What is your video card? "lspci | grep VGA" should give you some indication of what hardware is installed. Based on that response, we can determine if VESA is the right video driver for you (not likely based on what you've said so far). It may be the case that you need to install a better xorg_x11_drv_xxxxxx driver for your video card.

The whole thing is always better, as you won't delete parts that people may want to look at. It is also useful to see what EErrors Xorg may have found during initialization. > Burkhard -- Kevin J.
