[Bug 311485] Re: Logix Monitor: Default Resolution Not Valid

It seems that you have two separate problems (which of course may have common cause). 
1. The resolution is wrong (you want 1280x960, but get 1400x1050)
2. X thinks the physical size of the monitor is 4x3 mm and therefore makes huge fonts to make them have a minimum size in millimeters.

Both may be related to bad EDID information and can probably be
overridden in xorg.conf. From your Xorg.0.log it looks like you have
some settings in /var/log/xorg.conf. Could you attach that file? Could
you also move that file to a different name and log in/out to restart X
and see if that makes a difference?

Finally, since parse-edid seems to strip away the information about
physical monitor size, could you maybe give the output of `sudo get-edid
| hd`. This will show the binary 128 bytes of EDID info in a human
readable way. (I haven't had a look at the EDID 1.0 specification yet,
but EDID 1.1 seems to be easy to decipher from this format).
