Unfortunately this does not appear to work for me at all.

Below is a snippet of my xorg.conf file

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Sony GDM-F500/F500T9"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 121.0
        VertRefresh  48.0 - 160.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        Option      "CRT2HSync" "30.0 - 121.0"
        Option      "CRT2VRefresh" "48.0-160.0"
        Option      "AGPMode" "4"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 M10"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I know that some of the Options are being picked up, as the AGPMode
changes according to the Xorg.0.log file changes.

However I am still stuck with 1024*768.

I don't suppose you could paste the above sections from your xorg.conf
file, as well as the bugzilla numbers in both redhat and xorg's
bugzilla-ery thing.

Thanks in advance
