Duncan, as always you get to the core of it. As one who doesn't muck |
| 13 |
with X very often, since I want it to 'just work', and one who hasn't |
| 14 |
kept up with the latest X developments, I'm curious to see how well X |
| 15 |
will detect my monitor. |

I went back to the old xf86-video-ati package (binpkg is a godsend, BTW) |
| 18 |
and my screen is back to 'normal', that is it's the way I'm used to |
| 19 |
seeing it. I will pull this log file and upgrade to the new package and |
| 20 |
pull that log file and see what the differences are. |

I will let you know in a day or two how things shake out. Thanks again |
| 23 |
for all the info. |
