antybody know about dvi and xfree??

[dep]

i *knew* something like this would happen . . .

situation: nifty sony lcd monitor, 1920x1200. has multiple inputs -- 
choice of analog or dvi for each of two inputs, individually 
selectable. ati radeon 9000 card, has both analog and digital outputs; 
with provided analog-digital adapter, digital output can be used as a 
second head. according to all xfree docs i can find, digital output is 
automagically the first monitor, analog the second. monitor therefore 
set up with digital, via dvi cable, as first input, analog as second. 
the "two monitors" are set to clone, meaning show the same thing.

before starting xfree, both inputs work, with the digital *much* 
sharper, even in plain old text mode. but when i start x, the analog 
side comes up just fine, 1920x1200, no apparent problem. however, the 
digital side goes blank, and when i hit the monitor's menu button to 
see what's going on, it informs me that it is at 1772x1200 @ 0 hz. 

i've done what i think is a fairly extensive search and have come up 
with nothing much useful. the problem is confounded by the fact that 
1920x1200 is not among xfree's standard modes, so this involves a 
little hacking anyway.

anybody have and suggestions or guesses?

thanks!
