[Bug 305269] Re: [855gm] entire display shows color of certain pixel

i tried the quirk and now i see a proper image, but first to my system
setup.

the system is a not a notebook but not a common desktop either.
mainboard is a mb890 (link http://www.ibase-i.com.tw/mb890.htm ). the
mainboard has three video outputs: VGA, DVI and LVDS. my monitor is
connected to the DVI output. monitor is an IBM ThinkVision L200p. other
video outputs are not connected to anything, as far as i can tell.

my xorg.conf was already a "minimal" xorg.conf (as created by dpkg-
reconfigure), so renaming xorg.conf and restarting x didn't change the
behaviour. i then tried the quirk and added the LVDS ignore lines in
xorg.conf and now i have a proper image, but the resolution is limited
to 1024x768. the monitor is able to go up to 1600x1200.

should i post a new "Need LVDSout quirk for <your video card PCI ID>"
bug as suggested in the wiki? i do see a proper image now but the
resolution is still not correct. i'm sure it would be possible to force
xorg to 1600x1200 using appropriate xorg.conf lines, but it would be
better if the driver did it right automatically.
