xrandr is part of the problem - it doesnt list the modes that used to be |

available (or that both the monitor and videocard have for that matter), |
| 7 |
only the ones that xorg *thinks* are available (and it doesnt seem to |

think very hard about it), which I am convinced is set by Alan's "toss |
