I think this is not the case. See my first post.

Btw: After the newmode command I get the following:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1920 x 1080

        h: width  1920 start 2008 end 2052 total 2200 skew    0 clock 67.5KHz
        v: height 1080 start 1084 end 1089 total 1125           clock 60.0Hz

Is seems that the new mode "1920x1080n" is not assigned to VGA_1 yet. I
just do not know why this fails.

Best regards,
Oliver
