I have 10 old DVI monitors that result in tvservice yielding "state 0x6 [DVI CUSTOM RGB full unknown AR], 1440x900 @ 60.00Hz, progressive" which is not properly processed by utils.py. Since tvservice does this for every resolution the monitors support, rather then keep changing the config, I traced the source.
Sidenote: tvservice does normally read and list the monitors mode. Only when asking the active status does it list custom. So the root problem is probably somewhere in tvservice:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice --device 2 -s
state 0x6 [DVI CUSTOM RGB full unknown AR], 1440x900 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice --device 2 -m DMT
Group DMT has 16 modes:
mode 4: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
mode 5: 640x480 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
mode 6: 640x480 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
mode 8: 800x600 @ 56Hz 4:3, clock:36MHz progressive
mode 9: 800x600 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:40MHz progressive
mode 10: 800x600 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:50MHz progressive
mode 11: 800x600 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:49MHz progressive
mode 16: 1024x768 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:65MHz progressive
mode 17: 1024x768 @ 70Hz 4:3, clock:75MHz progressive
mode 18: 1024x768 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:78MHz progressive
mode 21: 1152x864 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:108MHz progressive
mode 32: 1280x960 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:108MHz progressive
mode 35: 1280x1024 @ 60Hz 5:4, clock:108MHz progressive
mode 36: 1280x1024 @ 75Hz 5:4, clock:135MHz progressive
(prefer) mode 47: 1440x900 @ 60Hz 16:10, clock:106MHz progressive
mode 48: 1440x900 @ 75Hz 16:10, clock:136MHz progressive

I have several old DVI monitors, of 3 types even, that all 3 result in
tvservice -syieldingstate 0x6 [DVI CUSTOM RGB full unknown AR], 1440x900 @ 60.00Hz, progressivewhich needed a tweak to be processed by utils.py.Additionally, as I rotate the screen in a 1x2 and 1x3 configuration, I also added a
fbdev --showmethod to detect the rotated screen, which may in fact make entiretvserviceno longer needed, I thinkfbsetworks in all cases anyway.Anyway, did a minimal change, adding
fbsetbut not modifying the originaltvservicecall
