Intel driver + sgi 1600 sw

[Cyril Richard aka [ Sx ]]

Hello everybody,

First of all thanks for your great work ;)
So my problem is i have an sgi1600sw monitor (which is great ... look
here for more details http://www.siliconbunny.com/1600sw-faq/ ).
It is plugged my g35 intel graphic card through to a gfx1600sw pci
adapter card. This monitor use a quite special resolution which is
1600x1024.

The problem is xorg can't  start because the screen is not detected ...

egrep "\((WW|EE)\)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives me :

        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(EE) intel(0): Output TMDS-1 enabled but has no modes
(EE) intel(0): No valid modes.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

But when i start xorg with another monitor plugged, xorg starts, i
don't see anything because this other monitor can't display 1600x1024,
but if then i plug my SGI monitor, my sgi monitor is working great :)

When my sgi monitor is plugged here is what xrandr gives me :

VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
TMDS-1 disconnected 1600x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 473mm x 296mm
  1600x1024 (0x4d)  106.9MHz
        h: width  1600 start 1620 end 1640 total 1670 skew    0 clock   64.0KHz
        v: height 1024 start 1027 end 1030 total 1067           clock   60.0Hz

So Is there an xorg option or anything which can force xorg to start
even if it doesn't detect a monitor ?
The "Enable" Option in the monitor section appears to have no effect ...
