Hi there...

I hope that I am not too OT here, but I have severe problems with my new
Samsung 940BW. This is a 16/10 Widescreen-TFT, native resolution is
1440x900.
I had a dual-screen-setup with the built in 15" TFT 1024x768 and a 19"
Eizo CRT which was running 1280x1024.
Now I tried to alter this configuration to match the new TFT, but all I
get is 1024x768 - 1280x1024 which is - of course - very blurry.

I suspect the TFT to be a liar, i.e. not reporting the correct
capabilites via DDC.

Some Information:
opensuse 10.1
xorg 7.1
radeon driver (-> no "ati" binary-driver)
Thinkpad R51 with Radeon Mobility 7500, TFT connected to VGA port.

my xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log are at

Thanks for any hint :|
