Fiddling with the monitor menu i came across this:

1280x1024
64KHz 60Hz


That is the current mode it is using. I don't know how to convert it into a modeline

...that'll be useful for a modeline i guess - how can i make one?
It does have a menu for Full/4:3, i changed to 4:3., which stole
screen-area, i now have two black stripes. Even if restarting X will
give me the full res i don't think it's work it, but at least i'll be
getting somewhere.


It should be on full. I thought that it may be the other way around.

Also, my BIOS has nothing related to the video settings, at least not
related to the resolution.

Are there any programs (for amd64) to read the EDID?


At least with the nvidia driver, the nvidia-settings program can save the edid

Looking at the log[0], i saw this:

Does the monitor have some BIOS of its own? The panel size is
obviously wrong, but it seems as though nv won't be able to change
that...

If 1280x1024 is all nv can do, i'll keep using it (in full mode, not
4:3) and i guess that wraps it up as far as having nv to fallback to.
Which list can i pester about this? I tried X's but couldn't even
subscribe.

Thanks,
