56 Thanks again. Looks like I'm getting close, because now dualscreen
57 works correctly! Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to get the
58 monitor to use 1920x1200 mode with the reduced blanking option turned
59 on. I even tried using cvt like you recommended in your first reply:
60
61 cvt -r 1920 1200 60hz
62 # 1920x1200 59.95 Hz (CVT 2.30MA-R) hsync: 74.04 kHz; pclk: 154.00 MHz
63 Modeline "1920x1200R" 154.00 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209
64 1235 +hsync -vsync
65
66 and then did a xrandr newmode/addmode, but I still get the "out of
67 range signal" error when I try to switch to 1920x1200R. Thanks again
68 for your help,
