bdalejdub: running dpkg-reconfigure --priority=high xserver-xfree86 post-update certainly didn't hurt anything.  looks like it dropped a hsync and vsync lines but otherwise left the via line alone.  I'll be happy to reinstall this machine on the next CD snapshot to make sure.05:42
jdubcool05:43
jdubnext cd will have all kinds of yummy stuff in it05:43

ReformedThere's nothing wrong with rad.10:41

rburtoni can't believe my iiyama lcd monitor doesn't support ddc11:13
rburtonthats pants11:13
=== Md [md@md.staff.freenode] has joined #ubuntu
rburtondaniels: so my lcd manual says it supports "ddc 1/2b" yet xresprobe says its a generic monitor (non ddc)11:17
rburtondo i need to shutdown X to make this work, or is it a driver thing?11:17
danielsrburton: what does ddcprobe say?11:40
rburtonhm, weird11:41
rburtoni get different results if i run ddcprobe in X to in a console whilst x is running11:41
rburtonin X ddcprobe correctly lists the high resolutions, and ends with edidfail11:41
rburtoni guess xresprobe wants EDID11:41
rburtonooh did firewire decide to work?11:44
=== rburton pokes
