I have a new Acer AL2216W that runs native at 1680x1050. The install is Suse 10 with xorg-x11-6.8.2-100.2. The video card supports 1680x1050
Oh man, I just saw what you are using ... so bad luck. I ordered one of these monitors just 10 minutes before your first post. And I'm running 10.0 on my desktop ...
Ok, lets try to fix it :)
Does your graphics driver provides an option to disable EDID? nVidia's one has it. That way you tell exactly what you want from the driver, and it does not query the monitor for the specs. I had to do this in order to use my 16:9 lcd tv in this max resolution.
Not that I can find.
Btw, what is the video card. Did you post on their forums? Did you try xorg forums?
The card is an Intel 915G and I have posted the problem on xorg. The suggestions I have gotten in the past hour is: "You should try the 2.0 release candidate versions of the intel driver (available from X.org FTP). They are capable of programming modes natively on Intel graphics hardware instead of relying on the video BIOS to do it. I am using the latest 1.9.93 release on a G965 and an 855GM (i830-generation) without any issues so far." I have downloaded xf86-video-intel-1.9.93 but I have not compiled it yet because I need to figure out the ./configure options for the PREFIX and EPREFIX directories for SuSE 10.0. It looks like PREFIX should be just "/usr" because that is where X11 is. What do you think?? Keep the faith, we will find it. This really is a beautiful monitor at the right resolution. M$ confirms this. Right now, mine just extends 4 inches beyond the physical display on Suse 10. -- David C.
