[ltp] XRandR reporting wrong refresh rates

[John Locke]

Hello,

I just upgraded my T41 to Mandriva 2006, and everything is working 
great! However, I'm having a slight issue getting the KDE RandR applet 
to work correctly, because it's giving very strange refresh values.

I'm not sure if this is a Mandriva problem or an Xorg/Radeon problem.

Here's the output of xrandr:
SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   2424 x 1050   ( 604mm x 232mm )  *22052
 1   1400 x 1050   ( 604mm x 232mm )   12572 12567
 2   1024 x 768    ( 604mm x 232mm )   12572
 3    800 x 600    ( 604mm x 232mm )   12567

I've got a dual head setup, and the different modes work great--but as 
you can see, the Refresh numbers are completely out of whack. I can 
change resolutions using xrandr -s, but I think the krandr applet passes 
the refresh rate to xrandr, which doesn't work:
 X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) 2
  Major opcode:  155
  Minor opcode:  2
  Resource id:  0x311c

I've tried setting all sorts of different modelines from different 
generators... I'd just like to get the KDE applet working so it restores 
whatever I have as my previous session, and can easily switch it without 
scaring off my (Windows using) clients... Has anyone seen this, or have 
any solutions?

This is using kernel 2.6.12, the Radeon driver, a CVS version of xorg 
6.9 (from 20050915).

Thanks,
