I connected one monitor which preferred mode is 1680x1050 to machine(945G), after start up Xorg, the monitor's mode was 800x600. The larger modes then 800x600 were lost. I also connected monitor which largest mode is 1280x1024, after start up Xorg, the monitor's mode was 1024x768.

Created attachment 9809 [details] xorg.conf for dual head config with different resolutions, not working like expected I also experience problems with the 1680x1050 resolution. I get a resolution of 1400x1050 on my external CRT on pipe A. Pipe B is connected to the LFP of my notebook which has an 855gm. See next attachment (log).

Created attachment 9832 [details] [review] Quirks-patch for xf86EdidModes.c for Samsung 225BW 1680x1050 resolution This patch adds the Samsung SyncMaster 225BW productid so the maximum and default resolution works with intel i810 / xorg.
Patch attached to comment #5 by Gero works for me. Thanks - Frode
It seems fixed with latest source.
Connected to monitor which model is Samsung SyncMaster 225BW, X starts up with mode 800x600. I run xrandr, it only output modes: 800x600 and 640x480, other modes are lost. The largest mode the monitor support is 1680x1050.
Wu Nian: Your config file specifies a modes list, so you only get the intersection of the modes you list and what the monitor supports. Remove your custom configuration to fix it. Gero: your patch is committed and pushed. Thanks!
Remove those two lines, X starts up with res 1680x1050.
