Is there a way to test the monitor geometry? I used to be in Television
engineering, and there we generated images for adjusting or checking CRT
geometry. I just want to check where the problem is. I will be
installing Ubuntu 9.04 tomorrow or so, and then look how the LCD
performs. Ubuntu was the first to get my Gericom Notebook working with
i don't understand what is so complicated with your setup.
the more options and custom modelines you add to your xorg.conf the worse it
will be.
really!
edit your xorg.conf as root via text-editor.
try to comment out the lines in your monitor section dealing with UseModes,
DisplaySize, HorizSync, VertRefresh.
and of course Option "UseEDID" "FALSE".
if you tell X not to use EDID on this monitor it is understandable, that the
monitor geometry, syncing and resolutions are totally wrong if they are not
setup properly in your xorg.conf.
the best way to get things right is, to let the gfx-card "talk" to the monitor
to negotiate the correct timings, geometry, syncing and resolutions.
this is done with EDID.
here is section monitor of my xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
VendorName "Seiko"
ModelName "1920X1200@60HZ"
#UseModes "Modes[0]"
#DisplaySize 366 229
#HorizSync 30.0 - 85.0
#VertRefresh 50.0 - 60.0
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool"
Option "DPMS"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
EndSection
here you can see, i commented out/disabled everything dealing with monitor
geometry, syncing and resolutions.
because of this the gfx-card "talks" to the monitor to negotiate the correct
timings, geometry, syncing and resolutions and doesn't use any values (which
may be wrong) stored in the xorg.conf.
and below in xorg.conf in Section "Screen" you only have to use your monitors
native resolution 1680x1050 as first choice like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Device "Device[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1000" "1440x900" "1280x800" "1024x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
that's it!
no modeline calculation or anything else.
have you tried this?
here is my (also with dualscreen) perfectly working xorg.conf:
