This is what happens in F13: # xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200 xrandr: cannot find mode 1600x1200 # xrandr --addmode UXGA 1600x1200 xrandr: cannot find output "UXGA" # xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x1200 xrandr: cannot find mode "1600x1200" On Factory, Cooker and Lucid, I can accomplish what I want. This is from working Lucid on the same box just a few days ago (but it's using 2.6.32): http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/Buntu/ has xorg.conf and data files, with xorg.conf.02-1600x1200x120x16bpp-buntu910-intel being the xorg.conf that works fine in Lucid but not when used in F13. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
