How to set default monitor mode?

Sat May 23 07:23:59 PDT 2009

Hi,

Xorg starts up with mode 1856x1392 at 60Hz. I'd rather have
1280x1024 at 85Hz, instead. I tried to change the default by setting

Modeline "1280x1024_85.00" ...
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_85_00"

in the Monitor section in xorg.conf. However, this doesn't seem to
work. I get the following warning in the log:

(WW) RADEON(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used

and X still uses 1856x1392 at 60Hz.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug?

Cheers,
harry
