(II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using default hsync range of 31.50-37.90 kHz
(II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using default vrefresh range of 50.00-70.00 Hz
(WW) MACH64(0): Unable to estimate virtual size

For this video driver, looks like you're going to have to hardcode your hsync and vrefresh. X can't detect your monitor's capabilities so is using defaults, which appear to not fit your monitor capabilities very well.

Thanks Bruce,

Yes, I worked that out - when I used a different monitor, the hsync and
vsync results were as expected.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.

I have since moved to Fedora 14, so I am unable to comment further at this time.
However, I accept that it should be closed after so long!
