Intel 945G on ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard
Samsung SyncMaster 920NW monitor
Originally installed with PCLOS 2007 around Sep 2007. Fumbled with the video settings to get this monitor to work in its native resolution.
Today I updated the system, it removed the 915resolution utility , and I lost 1440X900 settings
Using PCC / Hardware screen resolution still is reported as 1440X900 and Control Center / Peripherals / Display still shows the screen size as 1440X900
However, I now have a 2 inch black stripe on the left side of the screen and about 1/4 inch black strip on the right side of the screen. The 1440X900 is rendered onto the space between them (i.e. conventional aspect ratio) and the pixel are dithered to fit in.
Very uncool.
I tried to add the modeline to the monitor section, but it makes no difference.
I also tried this
Option "ForceBIOS" "1920x1440=1440x900"
but it does not help either.
Please help me get my screen back!
Here's the relevant info from xorg.conf
