True, but those two options actually do work, (they are checked in driver
as initial mode). So with those in there, you don't have to do the xrandr
command later. 

I have checked without those options too, still a no-go. Those options are
verified to work on a friend of mines box, so they really should work.

So I guess, the 0x1999 is wrong, or this is a different revision of this
device.

My guess is that I have a different revision of the graphic - card, and it
behaves differently.

Thanx for the ideas thou, will try your xorg.conf later
