True. I definitely had the ati-driver package. It was installed with |
| 18 |
portage and removed with portage. |

Interesting that they think there are different monitors. The only |
| 55 |
monitor I've had for the past 5 years is a Viewsonic PF790. It is |
| 56 |
connected via a KVM, but that hasn't changed for 10 years... |

Define "nice" :-> |

| 65 |
It is often said that with the new X11 it is no longer necessarey to |
| 66 |
have xorg.conf. Experience indicates that isn't quite true. My |
| 67 |
present xorg.conf is pretty small and has neither video nor monitor |
| 68 |
information (see the end of this message). I can always add the |
| 69 |
monitor section from my last working full featured xorg.conf. As it |
| 70 |
happens, I logged out yesterday and logged back in and now have the |
| 71 |
higher resolution I wanted. 'Tis all very peculiar. |
