(Get the code!)
I have manually edited the xorg.conf many times, with many variations. Yes setting the H and V refresh rates and modes will eventually enable one of a few viewable outcomes, but such is easily broken.
For example, I went to see the 3d cube, Compiz, installed/enabled the drivers, reboot and I was back to 800x600 50Hz on a 19" CRT. No way around that other than to lose those drivers. They ignored xorg.conf completely.
I have also tested xresprobe, but without success.
Xorg 7.3 is slated to be released in May 2007 and that is said to not use a xorg.conf at all.
Also other distros have auto detection methods that work (from what I have learned), such as suse.
7.04 doesn't work at all for me because I need a full range of screen resolutions, color bit depth and refresh rates - everything my hardware can do, before I can actually view 7.04 to see what it is like.
Bryce, when you have some actual software solution, let me know and I will test it.
