Bug#587627: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: Unable to use 1600x1200 resolution on external screen, screen not syncing
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-15
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
When booting, after the grub menu, the external screen starts being unable to sync as soon as KMS sets the mode for the screen (1600x1200, which is the native resolution). Display on the laptop screen at 800x480 is ok. When Xorg starts, the screen syncs again because it sets another resolution. All resolutions work fine, except the native one (1600x1200), even after disabling the laptop screen.
Upgrading to kernel 2.6.34-1 still gives the same results. Note that the problem also occurs with kms disabled. This screen works fine with a different computer with an intel chipset (G31 express).
