</div>Do you happen to have a XvMC profile running? If so, try SLIM to see<br>
if this is the problem. If it is, then you can go back and at least<br>
know what you are troubleshooting.<br>
<br>
I have a projector that won't work with the auto generated settings.<br>
I have this line in my xorg.conf SCREENS section:<br>
Option "metamodes" "DFP: 1280x720_60 +0+0"<br>
The MONITOR section has no line about modes or screen resolutions, or<br>
auto settings.<br>
