Bug#220678: xserver-xfree86: Not obvious how to configure 1400x1050
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4
Severity: normal
It isn't obvious (for me at least) how to configure my LCD display
at its native resolution of 1400x1050 using debconf.
Doing a web search seems to indicate that these settings are required:
HorizSync 30-82
VertRefresh 50-100
Modeline "1400x1050" 120 1400 1518 1635 1752 1050 1055 1063 1094 -hsync -vsync
I wouldn't know how to verify if these are optimal values, but they
do seem to work.
