Widescreen Monitor config Problem

[Scott Ballantyne]

Hi Matthew,

Thank you very much for your suggestion, which I tried. Regrettably without
success.

You write:

Perhaps I don't understand how to read the log file:

>(II) RADEON(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode
>snip...
>(II) RADEON(0): Supported detailed timing:
>(II) RADEON(0): clock: 138.5 MHz   Image Size:  510 x 290 mm
>(II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1920  h_sync: 1968  h_sync_end 2000 h_blank_end 2080 h_border: 0
>(II) RADEON(0): v_active: 1080  v_sync: 1083  v_sync_end 1088 v_blanking: 1111 
I understand this to mean that 1920x1080 is the preferred mode, with
these parameters. The monitor manual also states that
1920x1080 is the 'best'.

But perhaps I'll try playing with some of the other resolutions.

Thanks again for your suggestion.
Scott
