GMA 950 - intel - 1600x1200

[Hong Liu]

Can you change the mode to 1600x1200 after X startup by using
#xrandr --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --rate 85?

It seems the EDID data from your monitor failed to set the prefer bit
for the additional video mode (1600x1200 at 85Hz):
(II) intel(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) intel(0): clock: 229.5 MHz   Image Size:  360 x 270 mm  
(II) intel(0): h_active: 1600  h_sync: 1664  h_sync_end 1856 h_blank_end
2160 h_border: 0
(II) intel(0): v_active: 1200  v_sync: 1201  v_sync_end 1204 v_blanking:
1250 v_border: 0

This makes X server failed to select the 1600x1200 at 85Hz as the default
mode for your monitor. Would you please try the following patch?

diff --git a/hw/xfree86/modes/xf86EdidModes.c b/hw/xfree86/modes/xf86EdidModes.c
