No. I ditched my xorg.conf completely; it had been there just because I |
28 |
couldn't get the Westinghouse monitor to work without it. The Xorg logs |
29 |
show it recognizes a boatload of |
30 |
modes that the monitor likes, but gives an alibi for not using the HD ones. |
31 |
The approach |
32 |
does not seem promising. |

/var/log/Xorg.0.log attached. I'm paying attention to lines 269 295 327 369 |

377 380 and 381 |
