"Out of Range" at DVI

[Oliver Schad]

Hi everybody,

We use the actual xorg-serveer v1.3 with the 
built-in intel driver. We use the chipset i965 from intel and DVI output.

We have a problem with some TFT monitors whichs seems to output wrong auto 
config parameters. The result is a message on the screen "Out of range". 
So we have to override the auto detection of the 
monitor capabilities.

We have a working modeline from a TFT monitor from the same manucfacturer, 
same model but a later production date (if we start x with this model and 
if we put the older monitor on the DVI output it works fine).

There is the option "NoDDC" in the x-config which turns off the auto 
detection but if we use it together with the modeline from the working 
monitor we get only resolutions lower than 1280x1024 - but the modeline 
is for a resolution of 1600x1200.

Can somebody tell me, how we can persuade the intel driver to use a given 
resolution with a given frequency? We use the following config:

--------------- xorg.conf --------------------------------------

Section "Monitor"

        VendorName   "TFT"
