Also experiencing this prob on Acer TM8204, ATI x1600. The xorg.conf file is generic and contains no "serverlayout" section. The exact symptoms have changed with each update to the X system. When X does select a driver it selects the generic VESA driver and show a max mode of 1280x1024 and only a refresh rate of 61! This is a widescreen monitor 1680x1050. WIthout installing a proprietary driver I do not remember being offered a widescreen resolution, nor a correct refresh rate of 60!
