Dell 2405 Widescreen TFT (24") not being listed, detected and LCD 1920x1200@75hz freezes X

Hello there, I just installed the OpenSuSE RC1 on my machine, but sax didn't detect my 24" TFT screen (a Dell 2405 widescren one, native res: 1920x1200) and said it would be a vesa 1024@60hz one. Trying to use the LCD -> 1920x1200@75hz always results into a black screen, and not ctrl+alt+backspace nor ctrl+c revives the system... so a reboot/reset is necessary. Since it's adviced to NOT edit the xorg.conf file I am wondering what to do... Ubuntu & Fedora both work fine with the monitor (autodetect it's capabilities), and lower resolutions e.g. 1600x1200 work too. I am using the nvidia driver btw. Best Regards, -Joerg Battermann

According to google, the correct modeline for the monitor would be: Modeline "1920x1200" 154.00 1920 1976 2008 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 +hsync +vsync what should I do now? edit the xorg manualy?
Sure, you can edit it. :-)
I was just asking because I don't want to re-edit the file after each update etc... Is it possible to add the monitor to the sax2-database so the user can properly select it and/or sax autodetects it?
Sure, it would be possible to add the monitor to the sax2-database, but it won't help since no special modelines for monitors are stored. Does this modeline help at all?
replacing the 1920 modeline generated by sax with the one mentioned in #4 works perfect. :) what would be necessary to add the monitor to the sax2-db so other users with that monitor have no such problem(s)?

could you send me the output of the command hwinfo --monitor Thanks
Created attachment 50450 [details] hwinfo --monitor output here's the requested information. However, it does not seem correct (?). I ran it with init-level 3....
Thanks I added the following monitor to the CDB +#============================================== +# 2405 FPW +#---------------------------------------------- +DELL:2405 FPW { + DDC=DELA010 + Option=DPMS + Hsync=30-81 + Modeline="1920x1200" 154.00 1920 1976 2008 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 +hsync +vsync + Resolution=1920x1200 + Vsync=56-76 +}
thanks! :)
