[Bug 268434] Re: Screen Resolution is not being restored after relogin

2012-09-18 Thread michealPW
Hey everyone.

I've recently installed KUbuntu v12.04 (KDE v4.8.4) and experienced
similiar issues with the Display and Monitor.

Here's what I've found in my testing/research. First, the Display and
Monitor KCM can be used to generate an ~/.kde/share/config/.krandrrc
file which is used to save your resolution/refresh rate settings.

The trick is, this file is NOT created when you click Apply, you must
click Save as default after clicking Apply to generate this file.

Since Xorg no longer uses an xorg.conf by default, there's really no
other way for the system to persist resolution/rate changes except in
the .krandrrc script (Generated by the Save as default button in the
Display and Monitor KCM.)

I've read all the bug-report submissions and all the reproduction
methods skip this button. They set their resolution, click Apply and
then observe the new resolution change. They restart and then observe
the old resolution... The problem, I think I've found, is we're not
clicking Save as default after clicking Apply

I think a logical solution is to have the Apply button's handler
function also call the handler function for Save as default which will
eliminate this unexpected behavior for all new KDE users.

Thanks for your time.

First, i'm using kde4daily on VirtualBox, updated today

Steps to reproduce:
Open SystemSettings, Screen, change resolution to 640x480 (or any except 
default), apply it.
Logout (you get the default resolution back).
Login again (the display stays at the default resolution).

Expected behavior: Display changes to the set resolution (640x480).

Note that as you open SystemSettings-Screen after logging back in, the
display is set to the needed resolution (640x480).

I can confirm this behaviour and have a bandaid resolution.

**THE SYSTEM**
I'm running a unstable (~x86) Gentoo Linux system.
I've built KDE from R908976 of the 4.2 SVN branch. 
I'm using QT version 4.4.2
I'm using version 6.9.0 of xf86-video-ati on an AGP R420 (Radeon X800)
I'm using version 7.4 of xorg-x11.

**THE BUG**
This behaviour is seen when setting KDE's resolution to anything lower than the 
display adaptor/monitor's maximum resolution, then logging out, and logging 
back in.
Repro recipe for a system with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200:
* Start KDE.
* Open the Display System Settings applet.
* Set the Size of your monitors to something smaller than 1600x1200.
* Click Apply.
* Close the System Settings window and log out.
* Start KDE.
* Watch the display size be set to 1600x1200.
** Opening the Display System Settings applet correctly reset the screen 
resolution.
** Starting krandrtray also correctly resets the screen resolution.

I've repro'd this with a monitor whose max resolution was 1024x768 and
one whose max resolution was 1856x1392. I would imagine that this bug is
triggered regardless of max resolution.

**THE PROPOSED BANDAID**
Add krandrtray to the list of applications that get started at default.

**THE RATIONALE**
The prototypical visually-impaired grandma with the 24 CRT that her geeky son 
set to 1024x768 will have to reconfigure her system each and every time she 
logs in. This would get really annoying, really fast. (It's annoying when it 
happens to me, at least.)
Also, -unless the automatically start Strigi, Nepomuk, and Akonadi setting is 
stored somewhere other than ~/.kde4- we're starting Strigi, Nepomuk, and 
Akonadi on startup as well. I imagine that an average user would care about his 
desktop resolution decision being constantly ignored long before he worried 
about file indexing.

And, Half-Left in #kde spoke to Aaron Seigo about it. Siego agreed that
it should be started by default.

Let me know if I can provide more info. I'm not afraid of applying
patches or experimental code, either!

Woah! 640x480! This is a very old resolution and you will see thing so

That annoying bug happened to me from 1st installation of Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 
4.13, then updated to 4.12 Beta2 adn 4.2 RC1 and is not solved! I dont know why 
so many effects with KWin (that Im affraid to use from fist version for turned 
black my creen) cause that is MOST IMPORTANT cs evetime I had to set it to my 
res! I have reolution set to 1024 and Im not visually-impaired or have an 24 
CRT, Ive a 19LCD. It si for fonts are very small (size 9) and hard to read, in 
Konqueror more, this didnt happened in Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3.5.9. Iv to force 
to 96DPI, and this is not fixed too!I like big icons, btw some install the 
Apple panel that has more big icons...
I started krandrtray in first kde 4 versions but when I reboot disapeared from 
SysTray and res was set to max. I ran it now on KDE 4.2 but when IO reboot prob 
I ll get he same error. As I dont know how to add krandrtray to the list of 
applications that get started at default and I think that is better find a 
solution at the root of that really fixes the problem to future releses but I 
dont understand las solution Kenet

For me the bug is semi-fixed (KDE 4.6.2): I configured the external
screen with resolution 1920x1200, internal screen off. At the next login
the external screen is at the correct resolution, but the internal
screen is not off. Starting monitor settings turns the screen off and
everything is as it should be.

Fix committed for KDE 4.6. The fix (really a new feature) is quite
invasive, so it is not a candidate for a Stable Release Update for any
existing Kubuntu release. The fix will be available in the 4.6
(pre)release packages for maverick, as they become available.

Is it supposed to KMS should help to identify the native resolution of LCD? Is 
it supposed to set the resolution from SystemSettings then it must be

If so, this bug still happens in Kubuntu Maverick RC 10.10 to date. The native 
LCD resolution is not detected, and screen resolution settings are not restored 
when you re-login.

2010-06-13 Thread Eduard Wulff
The workaround I found good at the time (see above) does not work with
lucid anymore.

After skimming through the xrandr-links in this bugreport I tried some
other workarounds.

This is what helps me under Kubuntu 10.04:

xrandr --output DP2 --mode 1920x1200

added as a desktop entry under systemsettings/autostart

When my Lenovo X200 is not docked this command gets ignored. When docked
all is okay the way I want it (and it used to work under 9.04 and maybe
some streaks of 9.10).

Krandr left my systemtray since I only clicked on it _once_ after EVERY
start when docked.

I have just installed Kubuntu 10.04, on a laptop with an intel

same problem still happens, every time I reboot the laptop I have to
open the display settings app and reconfigure it, it doesn't even
remember the config I set last time like it does for others. To make it
worse, I have an external monitor on this laptop and on boot the only
screen shown is the one without the plasma panel (it defaults to cloned)
so I have to add a K menu widget to the desktop and open from there. I
don't have any settings on xorg.conf, in fact I don't even have that

In case this is still an issue for lucid, using karmic and kde3, the
instructions here worked for me:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2

i.e.

Version of xrandr:

$ xrandr -v
Server reports RandR version 1.3

$ xrandr -q

note what screens are connected and substitute for VGA1 and LVDS1 in the
indicated text for 45custom_xrandr-settings

$ sudo kate /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings

paste the indicated text from the above site and edit it for your VGA
and LVDS devices and save.

Reproduces with kde 4.3.4.
A work around.

(1) xrandr -q
 determine desired screen size (under SZ column) and refresh rate (under 
refresh rate column)
 Suppose desired SZ: is 0 and refresh rate is 70,
 then to produce that:
 xrandr -s 0 -r 70

(2) Make a desktop file in /usr/share/applications e.g., xrandr-70.desktop
[Desktop Entry]

Exec=xrandr -s 0 -r 70
Icon=
Terminal=false
Name=xrandr 70
Categories=System;
StartupNotify=false

(3) Setings-System Settings-Advanced-Autostart
 Add program
 select xrandr 70

Works, but why cannot Size and Rotation accomplish that?

2009-08-14 Thread peppergrower
I was having the same problem described here, exactly.  The krandrtray
workaround worked; running xrandr -s 1680x1050 (in my case) worked; but
I didn't like the way the login started out wrong, and then flickered a
bit after logging in before the resolution was right.

However, I managed to solve the problem.  In my case I didn't have my
native resolution listed in xorg.conf; the first problem was that I
didn't have the right modeline defined.  I did some searching and found
a discussion where it was pointed out that since X was getting the right
settings eventually, the correct modeline ended up in my X logs
(/var/logs/Xorg.0.log in my case).  There were multiple log lines that
looked like the following:

(II) intel(0): Modeline 1680x1050x0.0  119.23  1680 1728 1760 1840
1050 1052 1058 1080 -hsync -vsync

...which is very close to the format needed for xorg.conf.  Here's what
I ended up with in xorg.conf, showing only the relevant lines; I only
added the ModeLine line and the 1680x1050 mode (the rest was already
there from a configuration utility I used):

(I fully realize that no one else will need these exact settings--but
hopefully the general idea proves useful to someone.)

Anyway, once I (a) had the correct modeline in xorg.conf, and (b) added
the new mode to the Screen section, my resolution was correct from the
login screen, with no workarounds necessary and no resetting of the
resolution.  The problem was gone.

I'm running Arch (just installed); I don't know how other distributions
handle xorg.conf stuff.  (I tried looking at an xorg.conf from Ubuntu,
but it was practically empy...they must do it somewhere else.)  But
regardless of how you do it, I think that if you can get your xorg setup
to recognize the resolution from the get-go, it won't keep switching
back to something else until you open the Display panel in System
Settings.

I can confirm that krandrtray workaround works. I just clicked on
KRandRTray.desktop file (located in usr/share/applications/kde4) and a
new application Screen resize  rotate appeared in the panel. If user
will not close this application, it is automatically loaded when the
computer is booted.

The downside of this workaround is that the monitor blinks when loading
KDE desktop.

I did not change xorg.conf. I just followed these steps:

1. run nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate to find out real refresh rate. It says 60.
2. go to System setting - Display and change refresh rate. Click Apply.
3. run nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate. I says 75. So refresh rate is changed.
4. reboot the computer
5. after reboot run nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate. It says 60. So refresh rate 
is not remembered.
6. again go to System setting - Display. When clicking on Display icon, the 
monitor will blink. Don't change anything there. 
7. again run nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate. It say 75.
8. reboot the computer and run nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate. It says 60.

Enclosed you will find my xorg.conf. I have not manually edited this
file.

I have this same problem but also solved it by leaving randrtray
running.  this does achieve the resolution change, but leaves the plasma
bar at the previous resolution, so i have to resize it each boot.

I am seeing this with Jaunty beta amd64.  Fully updated as of a few minutes ago.
KDE 4.2.2
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
This is on a Lenovo X61 Tablet plugged into the dock.  I am not sure if this 
still occurs when I have it undocked and without an external monitor.  I'll try 
that later to see what happens.  The external monitor is a 24 Dell LCD.  The 
resolution it sets my system to is 1152x864.  I am also unsure if this only 
happens at login or if it is a fresh boot thing.  I'll attach my X.org.log file 
in case it holds any bits of useful information.

2009-03-26 Thread Danny Daemonic
Upstream, the proposed bandaid is to make KRandRTray start at log in.
This is an easy fix, I mean EASY.  There's no reason this fix shouldn't
be included in the 9.04 release if a proper fix isn't available (and it
doesn't look promising).

Just put the KRandRTray.desktop file in $KDEDIR/share/autostart and it
will run for anyone who logs in.  In Ubuntu I believe this is currently
the /usr/share/autostart directory.  Keep in mind that you can only put
.desktop files in $KDEDIR/share/autostart.

2009-03-08 Thread vrix
I've got same problem on COMPAQ S710 (CRT-0) Monitor using GeForce FX 5500 PCI 
video card.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Gnome and KDE 4.2.00

Using System Settings-Display then resize it from 1280x1024 to 1024 x
768, then apply would work. But, when I re log-in it will switch back to
previous setting.

Solution: Since I installed restricted drivers in Gnome because I'm
using NVidia drivers, I have the application NVIDIA X Server Settings.
In Nvidia X Server Settings, I clicked X Server Display
Configuration-Resolution-1024 x 768-Apply. Then I would Save To X
Configuration File in home folder. Then, I would copy the saved
xorg.conf file to /etc/X11, then re-login and it will work.

Comment: It seems that the System Settings-Display won't save the file
in xorg as root.

hope this helps.

I have connected two monitors:

I need to have switched on only external VGA monitor but after
computer restart I always have both on with resolution 1024x768.

When I open Screen and orientation settings VGA automatically
back to correct 1280x1024 resolution but I have to manually
switch off LVDS screen.

I have the exact same problem. I dont see why a new bug is required as the 
original description is correct. I will rephrase, in case there was a 
miscommunication:
1. Resize you desktop, for example from 1024x768 to 1400x1050. Looks great.
2. Restart computer. Login. Display back to 1024x768.
3. Open the Systems Settings  Display panel
3a. Dont do anything. The mere act of opening the display settings panel sets 
the display to the desired setting of 1400x1050. Looks good again, except the 
bottom taskbar panel is still sized as if the display was still 1024.
