Description Noèl Köthe 2008-10-24 00:23:54 UTC

Hello,

I reported this bug against the radeon driver but I was told that the problem comes from the xserver https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18153

my monitor has a maximun resolution of 1280x1024 but xrandr shows me three
wrong resolutions:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1600 x 1200
DVI-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 
376mm x 301mm
    1280x1024      60.0*+   75.0     59.9     60.0*
    1600x1024      60.0
    1400x1050      60.0
    1440x900       60.2
    1280x960       60.0
    1280x800       60.0
    1152x864       75.0
    1280x768       60.0
    1024x768       75.1     75.0     70.1     60.0
    832x624        74.6
    800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
    640x480        75.0     72.8     75.0     60.0     59.9
    720x400        70.1
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

1600x1024 1400x1050 and 1440x900 are not possible. My xorg.conf is very simple
(from a lenny installation):

As you can see no 1400x or 1600x resolutions.
xrandr shouldn't display these resolutions because the monitor cannot handle
it. Alex Deucher told me that the xserver adds these resolutions.
Xserver shouldn't do this.

Thank you.
