I have massive problems to get xorg-x11 running on my Mac mini and a Dell 2005FPW in 1680x1050 Mode. Below is my xorg.conf. X itself works in 1280x1024, but not in preferred 1680x1050. None of the ModeLines in the config works, I see a picture with lots of stripes, maybe I can take a picture of that.

Took me 4 days to test without succeeding! :(
5 minutes after my post it works:

Code:
ModeLine "1680x1050" 119.06 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 -HSync +VSync


and an additional entry to the Device Section

Code:
Option      "PanelSize"      "1680x1050"
Option      "DDCMode"      "false"
Option      "MonitorLayout"      "TMDS"

Confirmed :)

3 days of struggling end now. I had the same problem, many colored stripes or my screen switched to stand by mode without displaying "Cannot display mode" (Well, sthg like that).

Thanks for sharing.

After uprading to the newest xorg-server 1.1.1-r1 the only resolution that was displayed was 640x480, others were ignored. Trying the other modelines which I found on the forum only got my screen black.

After removing
Code:
Option      "DDCMode"      "false"
from the Device section it works again.

It works fine on my machine. What is the problem you're having? Have you tried xac yet?

Thanks mate, this post saved me !
I've been trying for three days to get my Mac Mini to display something on my 2407WFP, turns out I was missing the PanelSize option...
