I have a core2 duo machine running 9-current with a Radeon HD4770 graphics card. I also have two monitors one 22" Samsung @ 1680x1050 and one 30" HP @ 2560x1600.
If I hook the machine up to the Samsung monitor everything works, including direct rendering. However, if I hook up the HP monitor all I get is rolling lines of brown, blue and yellow. This behavior occurs on both vesa, radeon and radeonhd drivers, even when setting Modes "1280x800" in the screen section.
With the HP monitor the computer remains responsive, and I can leave X and return to the console without problems. According to the Xorg log, the graphics card has recognized the details of the screen, including resolution, refresh rates and panel size. Still the only significant difference between the monitors I can think of is the need for dual-link dvi on the HP monitor (which I am using!).
So, at long last, my question to the forum is this: Does anyone know some xorg.conf kung-fu, which could allow me to use the HP monitor?
Thanks for reading,
Martin
