The modes are there but xorgs log shows them as filled out with zeros |
| 2 |
(see the bit for Mode 38 below - quite a number of modes are like this). |
| 3 |
915resolution reports that the modes I want to use are present) If I |
| 4 |
start it up with the ext monitor connected I get a weird display on both |
| 5 |
screens - unusable. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Ive done all the standard things and am thinking Ive run up into an xorg |
| 8 |
bug with this driver. It will be a few weeks before I get the time to |
| 9 |
fiddle with this again - its at least usable as long as I dont boot it |
| 10 |
with an ext monitor plugged in, if non-optimal in the way I am currently |
| 11 |
using it. |
