Anybody out there faced, as I was this evening, with the problem of hooking an Envision G19LWk up to a Linux box with an ancient Voodoo3 video card, may find that X steadfastly refuses to adopt a resolution of 1440×900, and the logfile will claim that “no mode with this name exists.”
Add the following modeline to the Monitor section of your xorg.conf file that describes the Envision:
Modeline “1440×900″ 106.47 1440 1520 1627 1904 900 901 904 932
Make sure that you didn’t list “1280×1024″ in your screen modes (to avoid creating a 1440×1024 virtual screen) and things should work fine. A number of other 1440×900 modelines are out there if you Google, but this is the only one I could get to work for me.
