Description Bryce Harrington 2007-05-24 12:34:18 UTC
xorg 7.2.0, with mga driver 1.4.6 (ABI version 1.1)

Card:  MGA G400 Max (32M)
Monitor:  ViewSonic GS790

The user (cnobile) is reporting that 1600x1200 resolution worked on older versions of xorg, but with xorg 7.2 on Ubuntu Feisty X marks the available 1600x1200 resolutions as "mode clock too high" (see Xorg.0.log).

I'm the original person to report this bug. Has there been any movement on this issue. I have seen no changes in how this works with recent upgrades to my system. I would be more than happy to supply additional info on this issue.

What's the latest version of the driver that worked properly for you?
Comment 5 Carl J. Nobile 2008-05-10 13:45:27 UTC
The short answer is mga-1.4.1.

However, I have done a lot of testing since I posted this bug with Ubuntu. I
compiled mga-1.4.1 and dropped it in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, after
renaming the current version but, the issue remained, so I'm beginning to
think it is an xserver problem. Also, every once-in-a-while if I reboot the
machine it will come up in 1600x1200 with no coxing from me, but as soon as
I log out of my account I'm stuck at 1680x1050 again. I can get by with
this, but the aspect ratio is all screwed up.

At the time I reported this bug I found a few other posts on the web about
this issue, but I haven't been able to find them again.
