Have either of you two tried removing the UseModes line and the entire 'Section "Modes"'? Yes, I tried manually manipulating the xorg.conf file sixteen way to sunday... and nadda. In my case no matter what I tried the X system was stuck at sending a horz freq of about 77.x and the monitor said, unh-ah.
Also, I provide minimal flexibility for Xorg to choose wrong by setting 'VertRefresh 59-61' if 60 is the refresh I want (but I don't use LCDs either). Further, when using a DisplaySize line, I add this line to 'Section "Device"': 'Option "NoDDC"'. Recent Xorg versions seem to disregard DisplaySize when DDC is functional. Tried all of the above... and more... and man was I frustrated... for one its never happened to me before... and for another... it doesn't make sense... and comp sci is supposed to make sense. Obviously us manual configurators are missing something when sax (or whatever) can probe and play at setup but simple humans can't *reconfigure* later?? It should be as simple for openSUSE fans to add a new display (or card) as power down, install hardware, power-up system senses something has changed, goes into setup mode (installer, yast) probes, detects, configures, writes config... up and running... no hits, no errors, and runs all day.... /end rant2
