two heads on D610 docking station resolution issues

[0ofh2]

I have a Dell Latitude D610, on a docking station, and I can get 2 heads going. However, main head (DVI) is running at 1600x1200, and 2nd head (VGA) is running at 1400x1050. I can't get it to run at 1600x1200, and it looks *UGLY*.

Anyone has any ideas? Thanx in advance!



It has the ATI M300 chip:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]

I'm running ati-drivers 8.30.3-r1

/var/log/Xorg.0.log will probably explain a what point the res is decided. look there for the answer. Post the log file here and someone may be able to explain it for you.

HorizSync and VertRefresh in your monitor sections may help
and/or
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "True" in your Screen section

I looked over Xorg.0.log, and noticed something interesting.

Can it be that X is confused as to which is what screen? Display1 and Display3 are the correct displays. Display2 looks like it's the laptop's LCD.

Also, in aticonfig, I noticed a list of none, crt1, crt2, lvds, tv, tmds1, tmds2 and auto - what are these things?

Thanx!
