           Summary: autoconfig picks wrong default mode for some LCD
                    monitors
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: alan.coopersmith at sun.com


When letting Xorg autoconfig itself, it chooses a non-native default resolution
for the ViewSonic VX2000 LCD.  It picks a 1400x1050 resolution with a 74.8 Hz
refresh rate, instead of the native 1600x1200 at 60Hz, because the
autoconfiguration template in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c specifies
"TargetResolution 75Hz" - removing that line from xf86AutoConfig.c causes it to
pick the correct default resolution, but may cause CRT monitors to use a lower
than ideal refresh rate - perhaps this property should only be set by the
autoconfig code when the VESA EDID does not report DFP mode?
