Thank you! I took a peek, and they actually have a file that pretty closely matches the setup I have (with a 17" Studio display). I will give that a try in the next day or two. It sure beats fiddling with all the various parameters manually!
I think there must be some sort of bug in the configurator thing that was introduced in current versions of Xorg. Being open source, it should in theory be possible for anyone with the right knowledge to fix it. Any volunteers?
I appreciate your research. I've been doing some myself, and found out about Nouveau, a newer reverse engineered nvidia driver for Linux (a replacement for the older nv driver). Maybe you know of it?
I did that with the Pismo, which for some reason would only display at 800x600 starting at the upper left corner of the screen with an ugly bar of distorted/random stuff, and immediately below that a partial repeat of the image (like an old television whose vertical hold is off a bit). I found an xorg.conf file for it, and I was able to get 1024x768, but the problem still remains if I decide to go back to 800x600 (and, of course, it's slower than I feel it should be).
I will try to download a copy of Ubuntu 8.xx and see if that works any better. I will also see if an upgrade to 10.xx/11.xx is possible (at minimum I will copy the xorg.conf file and put it in a fresh 10.xx/11.xx installation).
Thank you again!
