1 Hi,
2 I'm using xorg-server 1.1.1-r1, with i810 driver for the Intel 915 on
3 board graphics adapter. I tried to use a SUN GDM5410 monitor (with
4 matching adapter cable), which now is hanging on a SUN workstation.
5 According to the OSD it runs w/ 81.1kHz/76 Hz vert/hor. freq., and a
6 resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. BUT if I try to use it on my new! shiny!
7 gentoo PC, I only get it to 1024x768 pixels. If I specify no modes in my
8 xorg.conf, I get a black screen, If I specify 1024x768, it works. I
9 tried to include 1280x1024 and 1280x960 (VESA modi), but got a murderous
10 screen flicker - totally unusable. The Xorg.0 logfile said something
11 about "Supported Future Video Modes:" which contain a 76Hz 1280x1024
12 mode. What does this mean?
13 I appended the xorg.cfg used for my tests with this monitor (I used
14 ddcxinfo-knoppix to generate mode lines), an Xorg.0 logfile is included
15 also.
16 Can anyone help me with getting a nice, shiny screen resolution? :-/

18 TIA,
