Created attachment 49187 xrandr output & xorg.conf prepended to Xorg.0.log from Fedora 15 producing 1792x1344@120DPI via DisplaySize, PreferredMode, TargetRefreshRate
Yesterday I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706024 because of this, before I knew it wasn't specific to openSUSE Factory.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf files containing e.g.: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor" HorizSync 30-107 VertRefresh 56-61 Option "TargetRefreshRate" "60" Option "DDC" "off" Option "DPMS" "off" Option "DefaultModes" "on" DisplaySize 338 253 # 120 DPI @ 1600x1200 Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200" EndSection
were working to produce desired refresh, resolution and DPI as recently as server 1.9.3 (openSUSE 11.4). Now in what remains identified as 1.9.3 in openSUSE Factory (12.1), in 1.10.1 in *buntu 11.04, and 1.10.2 in Fedora 15, TargetRefreshRate, PreferredMode & DisplaySize (at least, not checked other options as yet) are apparently being ignored. The exact same section when contained in /etc/X11/xorg.conf still produces expected results for resolution, DPI & refresh.
In contrast, 'option "DRI" "false"' & 'option "Shadow" "true"' contained in either xorg.conf or 50-device.conf are obeyed.
