I still maintain that either you need a modeline for 1600x1200 or the one you have is incorrect.
It looks to me that at the start of that log all common resolutions that don't have a modeline (or have a broken modeline) are rejected. It then starts the highest available resolution that does have a valid modeline.
On looking harder at my xorg.conf file I don't have any modelines of the format you seem to have. So I don't have any "available resolution that does have a valid modeline". Hmmm.
Maybe I'll read a bit more about the xorg.conf rules.
... and I'm none the wiser. All the HOWTOs and so on are very out of date and most imply that nowadays one shouldn't have to do anything to get the best resolution from ones monitor.
I'm not even *absolutely* sure that my video card can do 1600x1200, the monitor certainly can because I'm looking at 1600x1200 now but that's from Win2k on other hardware.
My video card is a "Fire GL1000 Pro" which uses the GLINT drivers, does anyone know how I can find out what the best resolution it supports is?
