Re: how does X find modelines?

what I'm not exactly clear about is whether X is really using the modeline values on this last line or not, but it seems to me that you didn't give it a chance to realyl use 1600x1200 correctly since you didn't include a modeline inpt for that setting. (And I understand that you probably didn't want to...)

The modelines that I got where the ones I got when x printed them out in the log for the mode 1600x1200.


I've heard of other people that have had problems with modeline settings causing strange sorts of problems. I'm sure you're sick of all of this, but have you gone through a number of other (slower) refresh rates?

You see to begin with this is what I really did. I tried hundreds of different modelins, and refreshes galore. All thanks to linux modile which conveniently had a subsection for 168x1050 wsxga screens. I basically tried all those and any others I found on the net. But none worked. Then One day I just happened to stumble on the 1600x1200 mode and realized it worked and printed out the modelines. So I copied those modelines into myxconfig and walla! 1680x1050! So it did actually do the 1600x1200 but some of the screen on the right wasn't there and I couldn't see the bottom.
Hope that helps show where they all came from. Guess I should have explained all this in the beginning. Just didn't want to write a Theses :-)
