Bug Description
Dapper doesn't use the correct Monitor (Philips 109P4). I found after the installation the following settings in xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28-51
VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection
Which means, that the screen resolution is 1024x768 at 60Hz. I cannot switch to a higher value with the Preferences -> Screen Resolution. I have to modify the xorg.conf to the following settings:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Philips 109P4"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-110
VertRefresh 50-160
EndSection
and the Screen Section to 1600x1200 and the Monitor to "Philips 109P4". Now i can use 1600x1200 at 85Hz.
The automatic monitor detenction is known not to be perfect. You can set your monitor settings manually by using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
