I tried to disable all manual display configuration in xorg.conf and attach an Eizo 17" lcd display. Although the X server shows the correct DDC data in the log it tries to use 1600x1200 mode on the display. x11-base/xorg-x11 Latest version available: 6.8.2-r6 Latest version installed: 6.8.2-r6 Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-gentoo-r2-src i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r2-src i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks maketest nostrip sandbox sfperms strict test" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X a52 aac acpi aim alsa audiofile avi bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 caps cdb cdparanoia cdr cpdflib crypt cscope ctype cups curl dbus dbx debug dedicated dga dio dlloader doc dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode ethereal examples exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg flac flash flatfile foomaticdb fortran ftp gb gcj gd gdbm ggi gif ginac glut gmp gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal hardened howl iconv icq idn ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib inifile ipv6 jabber javascript jpeg kdexdeltas kerberos lcms ldap libg++ libwww lm_sensors lua mad maildir matroska matrox mbox mikmod mime ming mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg msn nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl osc oscar oss pam pcntl pcre pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline recode ruby samba sasl sdl session sharedmem shorten skey slp sndfile snmp sockets sox speex spell sqlite sse ssl svg sysvipc tcltk tcpd test tetex theora threads tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales v4l vcd videos vorbis wifi wmf xface xml xml2 xmms xosd xpm xprint xv xvid yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

Hmm, that's exciting. I'm assuming everything works fine if you put "Modes" lines in your Screen section?
oh, I put there the updated xorg.conf This one works fine but when I remove the virtual lines it attempts to use the higher resolutions.
I think you just need modelines in those Display subsections. Something like Modes "1280x1024" instead of those virtual lines will do nicely. I do find it odd that it seems to be discovering proper modes ok but then ignores that information. It's entirely possible this is a bug that is fixed in 7.0. Let me know if the Modes lines solves your problem.
If this still doesn't work with modular X, please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product and post the URL here. Thanks!
