I then tried unplugging, replugging, restarting X with the monitor unplugged, etc. but the behavior remained this, it never reverted to the situation "left third off" that happens when the external head is not plugged at boot but hotplugged during a X session. In order to see again the "left off" behavior I had to reboot keeping the monitor unplugged. Disabling the laptop display does not change anything: if the monitor is connected at boot the top is off when X starts, if instead (after a reboot) I connect it before starting X the left stays off. So I would say that the difference in behavior is given by having the monitor connected at boot time. There's no difference instead between connecting it before X starts or with X running. > If when nouveau is running and the screen was plugged at boot the external > display is any different to how it looks when hotplugged, a register dump > would > also be useful -- I'm guessing the previous one was done from just offb? > No, both regdumps were done with the external head connected and working under nouveau, the first one is when the external head was connected at boot (and so top missing), the second one when it was simply hotplugged during a X session (left missing). I didn't make myself clear on this. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
