Xorg.0.log seems void of clues I can spot to how to escape 800x600. Using xorg.conf from 11.2 http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf.0f-1600x1200x120x16bpp-mga113 produces no apparent difference in result from no xorg.conf at all.
Makes no sense. HorizSync in xorg.conf shouldn't be ignored.
It seems to me all of xorg.conf is ignored. No matter what I put in it, it changes nothing.
Wrong location? Make sure that xorg.conf occurs in Xorg.0.log.
Hence you need to specify HorizSync/VertRefresh via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf.
It now seems quite differently broken. With no xorg.conf, and no changes to xinitrc, merely one modeline, regardless for what resolution, makes the difference between startup in 800x600 and 2048x1536. 'Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200"' is ignored, while 'DisplaySize 338 253' is applied. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-113-mga-kt880-2048x1536 is an Xorg.0.log from using one 1600x1200 modeline copied & pasted from an 11.2 SaX2-produced xorg.conf.
Makes no sense. The issue are the HorizSync values, not any missing modelines. With 30-37 kHz not more than 800x600 modes are possible. Now suddenly 28-107 kHz are used. Apparently you added these values to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf, since there is no xorg.conf available to be read.
The only way I've found so far (running LXDE or KDE4) to get out of whichever of 800x600 or 2048x1536 in which started, is via selection from krandrtray. The krandrtray select list omits 1152x864 that I had put in 50-monitor.conf, while it offers modes I never put in: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 & 1280x1024, in addition to those I did put in (at some point since your reply): 2048x1536, 1920x1440, 1856x1392, 1792x1344, 1600x1200, 1400x1050, 1280x960.
Thus it appears that setting any modeline at all releases to availability a whole slew of default modes from the hiding exhibited absent any modelines at all.
Standard modes like 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 & 1280x1024 are always added.
What's the secret to getting PreferredMode honored?
It's not used by mga driver. Option "PreferredMode" "string" This optional entry specifies a mode to be marked as the pre- ferred initial mode of the monitor. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) ^^^^
Is there some way to get the krandrtray selection to stick across session closes?
I guess it's still buggy. But who is still using it with a non-RANDR 1.2 capable driver like mga?
