[Openchrome-users] Trying to use 1280x800: no mode of this name

[Roger Dover]

I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2055 laptop, with a Via Unichome
VN800 chipset and a widescreen 1280x800 display.

I have compiled the openchrome driver, and it successfully detects my
chipset and works fine on 1280x768 resolution.

I have put a modeline in xorg.conf for 1280x800, but the mode seems to be rejected for some reason.

xorg.conf looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
        Option          "DPMS"
        # 1280x800 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68 kHz; pclk: 83.46 MHz
        Modeline "1280x800_60.00"  83.46  1280 1344 1480 1680  800 801 804 828
-HSync +Vsync

EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x800_60.00"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what is in Xorg.0.log:

Any ideas what went wrong here ?
