xfsettingsd with Linux 3.8?

[Allin Cottrell]

Hello all,

I'm having a puzzling problem with updating from Linux kernel 
3.7.10 to 3.8 (currently trying 3.8.2). All is fine with 
3.7.10, but under 3.8 when I start Xorg it comes up with a 
blank screen. (The console framebuffer is fine.) I can't see 
anything that looks bad in Xorg.log, no error messages there, 
and Xorg runs (albeit without displaying anything) till I kill 
it.

What I am seeing in my Xsession error file, though, is

(xfsettingsd:545): xfsettingsd-WARNING **: Unknown mode 
'1152x864 @ 75.0' for output VGA1, aborting.

xfsettingsd --version gives "xfsettingsd 4.11.0 (Xfce 4.10)". 
Xorg is version 1.13.2. The 1152x864 mode for CRT output is 
specified in xorg.conf and gives no problem under 3.7.10.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
