I am guessing that you have your monitor connected via VGA cable and not
via DVI.
I have this monitor, and I found it to work better then the Optiquest I
had a few weeks ago. In my case, I was using the video-amd (Geode
chipset, not ATI) to drive the display. Here is what I saw on the
Optiquest:
Configure resolution to 1920x1200 in xorg.conf
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSubSection
Screen comes up, but when I run:
xeyes -geomery 1920x1200
... xeyes went off screen, because the LCD was actually displaying
1600x1200, not 1920x1200 as X thought it was. I say again: the X server
and the driver think that the display is 1920x1200, and the LCD is doing
some magic to "fix" it because the timings are out of sync.
I think it's very hardware specific/driver; but there may be some X bug.
Can you confirm that you get the same results? What driver/card are you
using?
