[Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect

[Chris]

I have manually edited the xorg.conf many times, with many variations.
Yes setting the H and V refresh rates and modes will eventually enable
one of a few viewable outcomes, but such is easily broken.

For example, I went to see the 3d cube, Compiz, installed/enabled the
drivers, reboot and I was back to 800x600 50Hz on a 19" CRT. No way
around that other than to lose those drivers. They ignored xorg.conf
completely.

I have also tested xresprobe, but without success.

Xorg 7.3 is slated to be released in May 2007 and that is said to not
use a xorg.conf at all.

Also other distros have auto detection methods that work (from what I
have learned), such as suse.

7.04 doesn't work at all for me because I need a full range of screen
resolutions, color bit depth and refresh rates - everything my hardware
can do, before I can actually view 7.04 to see what it is like.

Bryce, when you have some actual software solution, let me know and I
will test it.
