--- Comment #11 from Stuart Bennett <[email protected]> 2009-02-28 06:09:52 PST --- As Maarten says, this is an xserver feature. See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Crtc.c?h=server-1.5-branch and search for "Using exact sizes for initial modes" as appears in your log just before it picks 1024x768 for both heads. Looking at the xf86TargetPreferred function (in the same file) that selects this behaviour, it tries to pick the largest preferred mode (an attribute specified in the screen's EDID) where the mode is available on all screens, hence you get 1024x768 as the laptop screen's preferred mode. This behaviour appears mostly unchanged in master ( http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Crtc.c ), so if you want it fixed you'll have to file an xserver bug, but I suspect they'd argue it's reasonable and intended behaviour. Alternatively, before using this method of mode selection, the xserver allows consideration of user-specified preferences, so you could configure it in your xorg.conf (see http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for details). Also any DM you use may have a control panel to set this up for you when X starts. -- 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
