Monitor not properly detected

Support knowledgebase (wessels_sax2-80)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
XFree86: Version 4.2.0

Symptom

Your monitor is addressed with a very high resolution or XF86Config contains unusual resolutions like 832x624.

Cause

The cause is an error in SaX2's DDC probing.

Solution

An update for the sax2 package is already available at ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/SaX2/suse80. You can install it with the command
rpm -Uvh sax2-4.3-453.i386.rpm 

Finally, restart SaX2 to configure your X system (see also "X Server Configuration with SaX2" (http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wessels_sax2.html)).
