Re: how does X find modelines?

It looks like the TMDS mode checks for available modelines. For 1600x1200 it
cannot find any, so it starts using the modelines you provided. In the 2nd
try it _does_ find a working mode in its BIOS, so it doesn't look any further
at your configuration. From what I gathered about TMDS, it's an automatic
setup for XFree86:

You might want to give the 1680x1050 setup another try after turning
TMDSCoherentMode to off. I'm interested to hear what your results will be.

I must say. I to thought it might be that some time ago. But because It worked at the other mode I never gave it another thought. Sadly I tried what you said and still got no result :-(
Here is the log with it turned off

Any other ideas would be wonderful. I'm willing to try just about anything.
