Sorry, should have been more specific about machine and issue:
This is the Thinkpad X31 I've been working on lately. The chipset is:
ATI M6-C16h with 16Mb VRAM (Video12.1" XGA(1024x768) TFT color)
The issue is that when connected to a projector (Proxima, pro
projectors here on CMU campus) when already booted AND the projector
has been running in 1024x768 (perhaps after a Win presentation?) all is
well... it mirrors the display correctly in 1024.
If the X31 (running Red Hat 9) is rebooted, or connected to the
projector first then booted the projector defaults to 800x600 (highly
annoying as the projector SHOULD default to 1024 -- go figure). Nothing
short of hooking up a Windows (blech) notebook to the projector will
get the Proxima back to 1024.
I've now found two other people who have experienced this under Linux
but, I'm waiting for their replies as to what flavor they are using.
