This is more of an info than a request. A sticky note to be found if
necessary.
The monitor is great value, but gave me few problems due to its wide
screen ratio; with an optimal resolution of 1920x1200.
The Radeon 9200 running with the Radeon-supplied driver supports the
ratio, pixels and maximal refresh of 75 Hz; in theory.
Here it was always 1920x1200 at 70 Hz though; a little bit too flickery.
The solution - after going through the setup process of Radeon's
fglrxconfig - lies in deactivating DDC:
# === disable PnP Monitor ===
Option "NoDDC"
since the monitor doesn't provide the correct information for our
setup.
startx again results in a very flickery 2048x1536 @ 60 display,
despite
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200"
ViewPort 0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than
desktop
# Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubsection
complaining about the missing Modline.
Once you uncomment the relevant Modline
# 1920x1200 @ 75Hz
Modeline "1920x1200" 246.590 1920 2064 2272 2624 1200 1201 1203 1253
+hsync +vsync
however, startx results in a full-screen, geometrically correct
1920x1200
display at 75 Hz; with 94.5 kHz horizontal frequency; slightly below the
maximum of 96 kHz.
Hope this helps anyone sometime !
