When I hook up my Fujitsu-Siemens Myrica VQ40-1 (a LCD TV) via DVI, the nouveau driver refuses to work, citing "no valid modes". The problem is that it believes that the screen is 1x1 pixels. Screen works fine on a radeon card via DVI. The problem is also present in the nv driver.

Any ideas on this? Problem is still present.
It's unlikely this will work, maybe the randr-1.2 driver (Option "Randr12" "1" in your device section) will have better luck detecting this. This will only help if your card has a dvi with a strange i2c bus.
Please make sure you use an up-to-date driver if you are going to test randr-1.2, as it changes a lot.
Thanks. The RandR 1.2 code nicely detects and drives my monitor. Keep up the good work. :)
False positive. RandR12 false also gets the panel running with the new driver. So it's something that has been fixed between what Fedora 8 packages and HEAD.
False false positive. ;) Further testing shows that non-RandR mode needs the BIOS to init the DVI output. But the RandR code can init the DVI fine on its own.
