If you can, try a VGA cable<br>

Tried that.<br>

This is truly bizarre, the drivers seem to keep pulling modelines out of their ass.<br>
<br>
I've attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files to this email. As you can see, there is NOTHING in xorg.conf resembling a modeline for, say, 1440x900, or 1600x1200, but X merrily loads into it anyway (and my panasonic 42", expecting 1360x768, promptly goes black and sulks.)</blockquote>
</div><br>The FireGL module (fglrx) claims that 1600x1200 is a valid mode and that the virtual desktop size is set to 1600x1200. Check the documentation for that to figure out how to tell it what mode to use. It doesn't look like it's getting any info from the display as to what is valid so there should be some other way to give it a hint.<br>
