xorg log without the new options
Note that "interestingly", when not using the native resolution of my flat panel, the xorg server segfaults when using mplayer (but gracefully handle the error by killing the client)
You can find stack traces of the segfault which happens in VidModeGetCurrentModeline() at https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40959 I opened a bug report for the segfault at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16067 |

Latest 6.8.0 ati driver doesn't honnor resolution specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf unlike previous 6.6.x versions. On a flat panel, this is especially bad since not using native resolution results in unoptimal display (zomm). I'd to add the following options to make it use the native resolution: Option "Monitor-VGA" "monitor1" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" Maybe linked to that issue, xrandr only list the current working resolution instead of all possible resolutions (see Bug #16063). See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=16683 for xorg.conf and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=16685 for xorg.log with the above options.
