I can switch to 1280x1024 and that gives the correct display (same as when I
run xrandr --output VGA --auto). With the distorted display, the monitor claims
the input is H=47.6kHz V=60Hz, so again not what the logfile indicates.
As the suspicion was a broken monitor, I borrowed another monitor (Dell
1905FP). Although this monitor is capable of showing the login screen, it is
not at the preferred resolution of 1280x1024 either. The monitor reports it is
1280x768 60Hz, contrary to what xrandr reports (1024x768_60).
The same figures were reported by the monitor with or without the attached
xorg.conf file.
With the dell monitor I could briefly see a graphics screen with a watch cursor
before the login screen appears. I have the strong impression that this
intermediate screen is displayed at the correct resolution. Does kdm have some
configuration settings that perhaps override the auto detected modes?
