Lenovo L2440p resolution detected incorrect on SL6 with Intel graphics

2012-03-16 Thread James M Pulver
We've got some basic E30 model 782449U connected to the Lenovo L2440p model 
4420-HB2 monitor where the maximum selectable resolution in SL6 seems to be 
1920x1080. These monitors are native 1920x1200 - so everything looks stretched. 
There isn't an X.conf from what I can tell, so is this a bug or is there a 
workaround I don't know to get this set to the full resolution?

Hi James,

Correct, there is no xorg.conf by default in SL6 any more as things are 
now auto-detected (which is fine when it works). However, if you make 
one then it should be honoured, so I'd suggest making a very basic 
xorg.conf and manually setting the resolution to see if that works.


No idea if there's a more correct way to fix this but that solution has 
worked for me.


Regards,

Phil
