No.=A0 I ditched my xorg.conf completely; it had been there j= ust because I couldn't get the Westinghouse monitor to work without it.= =A0 The Xorg logs show it recognizes a boatload of
modes that the monitor likes, but gives an alibi for not using the HD ones.= =A0 The approach
does not seem promising.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log attached.=A0 I'm pa= ying attention to lines 269 295 327 369 377 380 and 381

269: (II) MA= CH64(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0=A0 148.50=A0 1920 2008 2052 220= 0=A0 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync (67.5 kHz)
295: (II) MACH64(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x60.0=A0 172.80=A0 1920 = 2040 2248 2576=A0 1080 1081 1084 1118 -hsync +vsync (67.1 kHz)
327: (II)= MACH64(0): Estimated virtual size for aspect ratio 1.7931 is 1920x1080

380: (II) MACH64(0): Not using driver mode &= quot;1920x1080" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
381: (WW) MACH64(0): Shrinking virtual size estimate from 1920x1080 to 1280= x1024


I assume= 269 and 295 are related to 377 and 380. I remember i had a lot of pain get= ting a Geforce 440MX to do 16:9, but it was all in the modelines. There are= some modeline calculators on the web, but be warned that some of them prod= uce bad output. I did eventually get it to work after a lot of trial and er= ror.

Also because of this;
(II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: =
Using hsync range of 30.00-85.00 kHz
(II) MACH64(0): <default monitor=
>: Using vrefresh range of 55.00-75.00 Hz
(II) MACH64(0): <default=
 monitor>: Using maximum pixel clock of 160.00 MHz


you may need to set the ranges in your xorg.conf instead. check the mon=
itors specs first tho.
