Received my new LCD screen today, it's a wonderful Acer 1714. Problem is that I can't get X to use 1280x1024, I keep getting 1024x768, which doesn't look as good. A fragment from X log:
(II) fglrx(0): Total 4 valid mode(s) found. (--) fglrx(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
I suspect this is the problem ? But I can't find any reference to what my default mode should be in XConfig-86 file.
I have a Radeon 9500 and installed fglrx module as described on Suse's FTP site.
I don't know what your problem is, but you might get a partial solution until the right one is found by trying a couple other modes: 1152x864 1280x960 Like 1024x768, these two are standard 4/3 aspect ratio modes, while 1280x1024 is a bastard 5/4 mode that works by using rectangular instead of square pixels. Most implementations of 1280x1204 that I have seen get the implementation wrong and display everything proportionally wider and shorter than what they should. -- "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
