Description Jürgen Geuter 2009-10-26 20:15:48 UTC
I run x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.9.0-r1, x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5, gentoo-sources-2.6.31-gentoo-r2 with KMS enabled.

The graphics card is a "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)" and used to properly detect the resolution of my 24" resolution (which is 1920x1200) but recently it stopped working just detecting:

VGA1 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
   1280x1024      75.0* 
   1024x768       75.1     60.0  
   800x600        75.0     60.3  
   640x480        75.0     60.0  
   720x400        70.1

Everything else works perfectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attach external monitor
2. try enabling it
3. only see a few too low resolutions

Actual Results:  
Available resolutions are too low

Expected Results:  
Resolutions properly detected

Comment 2 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-03 09:37:45 UTC
Sorry, there's not much I can do to help you here. Please file a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla [1] where Intel devs will be able to help you out. Once you do, please paste the URL here so I can track the issue and backport patches if needs be.

Thanks
