How bizarre. I suspect the driver is misprogrammed somehow. That or your monitor is one crazy device. What happens if you use the modes from /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/examples/vesamodes.gz instead? Those are built-in to the X server, so if using those "vesamodes" works, then we have a driver bug. > The monitor is an Eizo FlexScan F552-T.

I don't see anything wrong with doing that. :) Thanks again for following up. If you can get us the one more bit of information described above, we may be able to isolate this bug. -- G.
