Hi,
I have a curious problem. Sometimes the Xserver will detect the
monitor (a Dell E17 LCD) and its supported resolutions, other times it
doesnt and switches to 800x600.. in which case, If the user logs out,
and hence the server restarts, then things are fine again.
I've uploaded the log files..
http://www.2shared.com/file/2810544/88e4625/Xlog-lowres.html - for
where the monitor isnt detected and
http://www.2shared.com/file/2810572/cac0b0d3/Xlog-hires.html -
where things are fine
Along with the xorg.conf file:
http://www.2shared.com/file/2810574/23a315e6/xorg.html
But the relevant lines seem to be:

.. where it does work
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
