[GLLUG] Weird monitor problem (SGI 1600w w/SGI Saver adapter)

Sat May 6 16:50:34 EDT 2006

My SGI 1600W (with an SGI Saver DVI Adapter) is capable of 1600x1024, 
but the xserver does not recognize it,
I'm using a Radeon X800GTO, and the flgrx driver works fine with it, 
other than resolution.
The weirdest thing is that the monitor is actually displaying full 
1280x1024 on the left part of it, but the rest is just filled by a blank 
spot...

I googled, yahoo'd, ask's, searched forums, no luck...

this is my xorg.conf:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
