I've upgrade to X.org 7.3 on my 7.0-BETA2 system. My problem is, that the card does only 1152x768 when I start X. I can change to my desired resolution 1280x1024 with xrandr, but I don't think that this is the right way.

I've put a Matrox G550 and a ATI Radeon 9250 into my system and both card showed exactly the same behavior.

I've read that other people are expiriencing exactly the same problem and I'm wondering, if there is already a solution for that.

Oddly enough, that's the one thing that worked just right here with xorg 7.3. My 1280x1024 monitor comes up in that mode.

My xorg.conf: http://ihsan.dogan.ch/files/Xorg-7.3/xorg.conf

That's an old-style xorg.conf, but both the mga and radeon drivers are xrandr-1.2. Some of the changes needing to be made are described here:

Note particularly the suggestions on removing HorizSync, VertRefresh, and ModeLines from the Monitor section.

For a single monitor, I'd set the virtual screen size to the same size as the monitor:

Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubSection EndSection

One thing that may have helped me is that I went through the logs and removed everything unnecessary or duplicated from my xorg.conf:

A single monitor setup would not have that Option "Position" "1024 0" entry in the Monitor section.
