After the boot, when I should get kdm login dialog, I just get blank screen. When inspecting log file, it looks like that display is not detected any more. After adding sync ranges to the Monitor section, I got X back, but screen size was not detected properly, causing DPI to be set to 75 (instead of 145), making fonts really small. I have fixed this with adding DisplaySize in monitor section.
