custom modelines for Eizo FlexScan 24" screen

[epsilon]

I am trying to make my 24" EIZO-screen work with kubuntu and I have a problem getting it to display a proper 1920x1200 60Hz DVI-signal with a dot clock around 160 MHz. Could anyone help me in the right direction?

I see that similar feats have been pulled for the Dell 24" screen with some kind of custom modeline made with knoppix (mkxf86config), so it should be possible, but I'm not sure as to what to do. I couldn't find mkxf86config in the repositories, so my only choice would be to download and run knoppix to try this.

did you try

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

?

This is a new computer with a fresh install with the screen in question used for the installation. Wouldn't this command simply do the same thing that was done during the installation process?

This might help:

man xvidtune

Problem solved with this modeline:

Modeline "1920x1200_60.00_rb" 162.00 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 120
9 1235 +HSync -Vsync

I had to remove the lines with HorizSync and VertRefresh though, they were probably set up for an analog signal and clashed with the digital one.

I really wish I understood what X does. What the hell do all those numbers up there do and how are they created?
