I'm trying to upgrade 2.6.17.13 -> 2.6.18 . Under the new kernel X
windows starts in 640x480 rather than 1280x1024 , which is pretty
useless. Worse, I can't Ctrl-Atl-[+-] to the resolution I want. I
need to fix this if I'm to use 2.6.18 but I can't figure out how.
I've compared the server output from a minimal session (start X, quit
applications, quit window manager) and the results are identical apart
from the record of the time and OS version, and the startup message
from icewm appearing in a different place (which I'm putting down to
random timing variation). The diff of the output of xdpyinfo is:
58,59c58,59
< dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (361x271 millimeters)
< resolution: 90x96 dots per inch
---
> dimensions: 640x480 pixels (217x163 millimeters)
> resolution: 75x75 dots per inch
I'm running X.org 6.8.2 on a Radeon 9250 . I'm using DRI and the
X.org driver. My xorg.conf (attached) is as minimal as it could be.
I upgraded the kernel .config using "make oldconfig" and choosing all
the defaults. (I've attached the diff of the configs, after taking
out comments and sorting them.)
I'm stuck. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Jeremy Henty
