Hi,
I use x.org 6.8.0 and KDE 3.3.2. In KDE control centre under devices -> display I get the message that my X server needs RANDR (Resize and Rotate), which is needed to change the display resolution. Actually RandR is supported and activated. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I found the following line:
(==) RandR enabled
Why doesn't KDE allow me to change the resolution via the control centre?
I'm using ati-drivers 8.8.25, maybe it's got something to do with that?
Probably-- I'm using the mostly the same setup (KDE 3.3.2 and ati 8.10.19 drivers), but under SuSE 9.2, and the message is the same in my configuration center. So it probably is a KDE/ATI conflict, as Wine has no problem changing resolution when needed (using the RANDR extension), and if Wine can't change it back (because of a crash), I can use CTRL+Alt++ to resize the desktop to normal resolution. However, these keys do not work under normal operation (if the resolution has not been changed by other means and I am changing it back).
So RANDR does work to some degree, as Wine can use it, but for "normal" use, it does not seem to-- and that definitely sounds like an ATI driver issue to me, fwiw. I don't usually change resolutions on the fly, so I don't know if it would work with other WMs, but it certainly does not with KDE. Maybe somebody else can confirm if it works with nVidia or other cards (Matrox, for instance).
Nor with nvidia and same configuration
