The solution in my case was to add an option to the x.org config file: "PreferredMode". This makes the whole of the monitor portion of my x.org config file as follows:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "CPD-G500" Option "DPMS" ModeLine "1600x1200" 229.50 1600 1668 1860 2152 1200 1201 1 204 1250 +hsync +vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200" EndSection
Wow. Not seen a ModeLine entry since the XFree86 3.x days. Out of curiosity, why is it needed (on modern Xorg servers)?
I recently tried starting Xorg with no xorg.conf file, and it worked first time, with the correct resolution. Only had to create xorg.conf to add UK keyboard map... and change from the i810 driver to the intel driver...
Odd, I also cannot find PreferredMode in xorg.conf man page... Are you running some kind of a custom X server?
I set the 'prefered mode' in the Display subsection of the Screen section... do people do it another way?
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
The first resolution seems to become the default.
