Current xorg.conf, slightly tweaked with modelines and syncs for my monitor.

Been using the proprietary nvidia drivers for years but not currently able to use these (running Fedora 9) so trying to get my full resolution (1600x1200) working with the nouveau driver, or even nv. (both yield this same problem) 

I have a Dell 2001fp LCD display and a nVidia GeForce 6200 video card. While 1600x1200 works easily with nvidia driver, using nouveau (or nv) I always max out at 1280x1024. The most suspicious entry on Xorg.0.log is:

(II) NOUVEAU(0): Not using mode "1600x1200" (exceeds panel dimensions)

Fedora starts me off with a very basic xorg.conf which I've been trying to tweak manually with modelines and sync ranges, but nothing seems to change the outcome. (config still works, just same max resolution)

Attaching current xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.

Our old code (which hopefully dies in the near future) path is very similar to nv's, it relies heavily on what the bios does, which limits your resolution to 1280x1024.

Please use (in your device section):

Option "Randr12"

If that has a problem, then you can open another bug.

Randr12 option did the trick, up and running at 1600x1200 immediately thereafter. Many thanks!
