i tried the quirk and now i see a proper image, but first to my system setup.

the system is a not a notebook but not a common desktop either. mainboard is a mb890 (link http://www.ibase-i.com.tw/mb890.htm ). the mainboard has three video outputs: VGA, DVI and LVDS. my monitor is connected to the DVI output. monitor is an IBM ThinkVision L200p. other video outputs are not connected to anything, as far as i can tell.

my xorg.conf was already a "minimal" xorg.conf (as created by dpkg-reconfigure), so renaming xorg.conf and restarting x didn't change the behaviour. i then tried the quirk and added the LVDS ignore lines in xorg.conf and now i have a proper image, but the resolution is limited to 1024x768. the monitor is able to go up to 1600x1200.

should i post a new "Need LVDSout quirk for <your video card PCI ID>" bug as suggested in the wiki? i do see a proper image now but the resolution is still not correct. i'm sure it would be possible to force xorg to 1600x1200 using appropriate xorg.conf lines, but it would be better if the driver did it right automatically.
