Problems with Asus EeePC 701 4G and Asus VW222S

[Paul Menzel]

Dear developers,


I am the owner of an ASUS EeePC 701 4G and am not able to get the ASUS
VW222S [2] as an external display going at a resolution of 1680 * 1050
over VGA, which is the only port available.

I am just seeing moving stripes on the display (image attached).

The thing is that a lot of people can get this this resolution to work
(with different monitor?) [3][4] with this modification [5] to
xorg.conf.

I am hoping you can give me a hint how to proceed. It looks like the
monitor is the culprit!?

Some people helped me to get some information together for comparison
[6].

There was no difference in the result between the versions in Debian
unstable and experimental.

unstable:

        (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
                compiled for 1.4.2, module version = 2.3.2
                Module class: X.Org Video Driver
                ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 2.0

experimental:

        (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
                compiled for 1.4.99.906, module version = 2.4.1
                Module class: X.Org Video Driver
                ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.1


I attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Paul
