Sorry to bring this up again, but I've just upgraded to Intrepid and it's doing it again. I have a Quadro FX 500/600 nVidia card The driver that fixes this bug was released on 7th Oct 2008 (version 177). This, however is not available from the repos yet. This is the changelog for version 177 (from http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux_display_ia32_177.80_uk.html) Updated mode validation, in cases when no EDID is detected, such that 1024x768 @ 60Hz and 800x600 @ 60Hz are allowed, rather than just 640x480 @ 60Hz. Was this the affecting bug?

I think we can now close this bug as fixed as of the Gutsy release. While some resolution detection issues remain, they are uncommon and typically unrelated to the original bug report, and of course should be entered as their own bug reports. For the 42 duplicates to this bug, I'm going to also assume our changes in Gutsy fix them. If not, please test against Hardy, and if it still isn't fixed there, undupe the bug and we'll look into it further. Thank you everyone for testing and verifying fixes as they were developed for this bug. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Released -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I encounter the same bug with a fresh install of Kubuntu Hardy Alpha 3. I have a Fujitsu laptop with i945GMA video and a 1280x800 LCD panel. kdm appears with very big fonts, so I guess it uses a 640x480 resolution. Attached is my Xorg.log NB: the JHardy Alpha 3 LiveCd guessed the correct resolution.

I found bug 115220 recently; looks like Bryce patched the aspect ratio code on Oct. 17th. Even with that patch, I still have to delete 1600x1200 from xorg.conf to get X to start up. And then the maximum resolution is 1400x1050 instead of 1680x1050.

Well I see this what I believe to be this bug with Gutsy but not Drapper. And in Gutsy it affects all but text-mode: that is both Graphical boot screen AND X, both in the live CD + when installed. Not knowing how to override to a textmode install I had to used the live CD by pushing Ctrl+Alt+Minus until I got a 320x2?0 screen that though terribly distorted my monitor could display enough to be used. I have Gutsy installed and X working after change the H/V ranges for X's monitor, but have yet to fix and still have monitor out-of-sync issues with ubuntu's boot screen. I know my CRT doesn't support being queried, could this be due to a lack of 'sane' defaults? -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I wrote a few days ago to say that the Live CD works OK with my setup. I have now upgraded my installed version from Feisty to Gutsy and have found that the splash screen and boot progress bar does not display because the monitor complains that the settings are out of range. In Feisty the work around for this was to add a vesa code to the boot parameters in GRUB. This no longer works.

May I tell you about my own issue? It's not the Tecra 8000. The Tecra 8000 issue is a pleasant problem-solving exercise compared to this: X.Org wrongly detects the screen resolutions available on my monitor. I have an ATI Radeon X1900 XT connected to a ViewSonic VG2230wm monitor. It's a widescreen flat panel; the native resolution is 1680x1050. Ubuntu has to use the vesa driver. When I install Ubuntu or start the LiveCD environment (or do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg), it puts this stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Device Generic Video Card Monitor VG2230wm DefaultDepth24 SubSection Display Modes 1680x1680 1680x1050 1600x1200 1440x1440 1400x1050 1280x1024 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 832x624 800x600 720x400 640x640 640x480 EndSubSection EndSection Now wait, did I just say the native resolution was 1680x1050? I sure did. So why are there mode lines like 1680x1680, 1600x1200, and 1440x1440 in here? I have no clue! But the graphical environment refuses to start up, even in safe graphics mode. I have to manually edit xorg.conf so that it looks like this: Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Device Generic Video Card Monitor VG2230wm DefaultDepth24 SubSection Display Modes 1680x1050 1400x1050 1280x1024 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 832x624 800x600 720x400 640x640 640x480 EndSubSection EndSection Then it works. It's a good thing I knew how to use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to reach a command console, use sudo vim to edit xorg.conf, and find the correct place in the file. A non-technical user might figure that out...if he was really, really, really desperate. There is no bullet-proof X on Kubuntu. When I tried regular Ubuntu or Xubuntu, bullet-proof X didn't help at all. I could select a screen mode in a dialog box, but my settings seemed to have no effect. I believe the problem is that the vesa driver goofs up parsing the monitor's EDID data. Right now, I use the radeonhd driver, built from the latest Git tree. It works perfectly fine for me. It's awesome. The attached Xorg.0.log contains all the monitor information detected by the radeonhd driver. Unfortunately, this problem still exists in Gutsy Gibbon. I have to edit xorg.conf, even if I start the LiveCD in safe graphics mode. Since the release of Feisty Fawn last year, I've reported this issue a few times in different places, including the Ubuntu Forums, the Ubuntu mailing lists, and the X.Org mailing list. I must say, it's like talking to a brick wall. I literally get no responses. Doesn't anyone want to investigate? Or at least help me investigate? If you write a message telling me to shut up, I'll be happy.

Peter, attached is the output of sudo ddcprobe. I can't use read-edid on my 64-bit system. I extracted the EDID hex data from Xorg.0.log, compiled my own parse-edid, and fed it into there.

It's pretty strange, but it shrinks the display down to 1680x1050 when I use the mode. Everything gets blurry. When you boot from LiveCD, does Ubuntu try to use the highest resolution available? I don't think that's very wise. The modes I end up deleting from xorg.conf (1680x1680, 1440x1440) seem to fall under the category ctiming here. I bet the issue could be solved by making Ubuntu ignore the ctiming modes, because they're obviously wrong here. There are some legitimate ctiming modes, though. I'm gonna find whatever's calculating those modes. Maybe somewhere, there's a hidden assumption about the aspect ratio. This is a widescreen 16:10 monitor, and maybe some software can't handle that.

[Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect
I doubt the 64-bitness is a problem here, because it got the EDID data
from my monitor. The vesa driver has to use an x86 emulator to run code
from the video BIOS, but I think it manages that fine (Fine here, but
not on my Tecra 8000).
I looked at the source code for ddcprobe (part of xresprobe) and found
the part where it calculates ctimings:
/* Standard timings. */
for(i = 0; i 8; i++) {
double aspect = 1;
unsigned int x, y;
unsigned char xres, vfreq;
xres = edid_info-standard_timing[i].xresolution;
vfreq = edid_info-standard_timing[i].vfreq;
if((xres != vfreq) ||
((xres != 0) (xres != 1)) ||
((vfreq != 0) (vfreq != 1))) {
switch(edid_info-standard_timing[i].aspect) {
case 0: aspect = 1; break; /*undefined*/
case 1: aspect = 0.750; break;
case 2: aspect = 0.800; break;
case 3: aspect = 0.625; break;
}
x = (xres + 31) * 8;
y = x * aspect;
printf(ctiming: [EMAIL PROTECTED], x, y,
(vfreq 0x3f) + 60);
}
}
So that's how it detected 1680x1680 and 1440x1440: It thinks there's
an aspect ratio of 1 because of an undefined condition. Is this the
same code that Ubuntu uses to configure xorg.conf for the vesa driver?
If so, that would explain everything.
By the way, has anyone ever looked at edid-decode? It's awesome. It's in the
xorg git tree here:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/app/edid-decode.git;a=summary
I tried it on my EDID and it correctly parsed EVERYTHING. The output is
attached.
So, I know how people can help with this issue:
Make ddcprobe more like edid-decode. :)

I had a seemingly unsolveable problem with a Dell laptop screen not being recognised properly under the binary Nvidea driver that was fixed by some kind contributer uploading a EDID file to these support forums and then telling X to use that.

Demosthenes, please report the focus issue to a separate bug; it's almost assuredly unrelated to this one. Caroline, interesting, it seems your card is mis-reporting its capabilities via ddcprobe. I've not run across this situation before. Are you also able to successfully specify 1280x1024 in your xorg.conf successfully? It sounds like the monitor will support it (at 60Hz tho), and I would assume the card does as well.

John, so yeah if you're seeing 'edidfail', then your bug is 94994. I recommend subscribing to that one. I have some ideas on that one and am hopeful we can knock it out next week; there's been some really good successes the past couple weeks at solving some long standing resolution bugs, and I think we're on a roll. It would kick ass if we could eliminate all these major resolution issues for Gutsy! Demosthenes, try sudo apt-get install xresprobe; that should get ddcprobe installed for you.

thanks Bryce.. I finally found the timings for the Viewsonic VA1912W and manually created a 1440x900 resolution and enabled it and it works, and enabled anti-aliasing, vibrance, etc with the Nvidia control panel - but now another weird problem when some apps close (like a full screen app just now) keyboard and mouse lose focus to the X screen as a whole - i.e. - can't interact with the computer although mouse cursor can be moved around (but has no effect)... ideas? I really hope the next version of Ubuntu will fix some of these bugs - it's taken a decade of solid development to get Linux to a point where it is *almost* usable for the average user, but not quite. Most people would not have a clue about manually setting timings and all these commands. But I am happy I've made some progress. Still leaves Linux in the 'need a lot of technical knowledge' category though, not quite there yet until these things are easier to resolve or better documented. Definately an improvement from when I last used Linux a few years ago though (before Ubuntu existed). Can't say I have heard Vista is all round easy to install and maintain either though I have to admit. Now if I can just resolve this weird 'lose focus' bug?

Heya all, I'm just surfacing to report some progress made on resolution detection for Gutsy. We've found a fix for a sub-class of this bug, for situations involving LCDs with analog connections (I assume this is VGA connections as opposed to DVI) where the highest (and most correct) resolution gets lost. This is bug 27667 and is due to poor logic in xresprobe/ddcprobe.sh that mixes up CRTs and LCDs. The logic is being dropped, which will fix this bug. There were also a couple other logical errors which may have caused other related monitor resolution mis-detections. 144956 also has a fix; it addresses an issue that cropped up after Tribe 5 for intel users that resulted in misdetected resolutions for some. This was caused by a patch added in Tribe 5. The patch will be dropped to fix the issue. For others experiencing this problem, a couple tips: run ddcprobe to see if it reports a series of timings for your monitor. If it instead returns edidfail, you're seeing bug 94994. If it returns a correct list of resolutions, but the highest one is missing, and you're using an LCD, then you're seeing bug 27667. For everyone else, stay tuned... -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

This is already reported: Tecra 8000 laptop video (Neomagic MagicGraphAV256 with NM2200 chipset) automatically detects as only 640x480. I can fix that by setting HorizSync and VertSync in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Then the fonts are way too small, so I fix that by setting a workable DPI value. I think the reason it fails is that it finds 01 ILLEGAL X86 EXTENDED OPCODE in the Video BIOS while it's trying to read EDID data (a message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log). So the opcode is 0F 01, the INVPLG instruction. I looked in the source code for the X.Org int10 driver where this error message is printed; there is no implementation for INVPLG (it's a privileged instruction). Now if I knew how to compile my own X.Org, I would fix that. I think an acceptable solution is to simply ignore the opcode.

Byce, Not sure if I should post this here or add to the wiki solution but I have attached the boot screen for the MEPIS solution to the Ubuntu #3731 bug.

Many thanks, Bryce, for investing so much in this solution. I love testing a wide range of Linux live CDs and find that a % recognize my i810 1024/768 laptop monitor and a % do not recognize it. My question is not part of the wiki spec discussion but more general. Can I ask if, in your mind, there is a Linux distribution out there that has solved this challenge to your satisfaction? If so, is it possible to borrow their solution for the famous Ubuntu distribution? Sorry if this question is too noobish. For me, I have gotten used to the xorg.conf edit process (as long as there is a safe video boot choice) but I can see for the vast number of potential users out there and the trend to Linux.an out of the box resolution recognition is critical. Anyway, if you need an Ubuntu tester for this bug please let me know. I would be more than glad to help.

Just tested tribe 5 Ubuntu and hoped the new GUI for screen resolution would finally assist in recognizing my 1028 x 768 LCD intel 810/815 screen resolution. Did not work. Only worked at low resolution on the safe video mode start up. Then use the terminal and the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver- xorg -phigh process as well as plugging in the horzsync and vert refresh numbers in xorg.conf. Only then do I get the 1028x768 resolution. Is there any way for the new GUI screen resolution in Tribe 5 to accept a custom configuration? If I use the GUI to plug in the intel 810, I still can not get the GUI to pick up a custom sync level. So, by custom I would like to see the GUI be able to take a custom sync level. Last Ubuntu that recognized my laptop resolution out of the box was 6.10.

Bryce: The X autodetection is not a solution for now. It is so poorly designed it is unusable. It does not work by commenting out sections in the config file. You have to *REMOVE* the config file *COMPLETELY*. This means that many settings for which there are no reasonable defaults break. However, I tried it for the sake of experimentation when I was configuring X for Ati Radeon 9200 + Sony G200. The readouts from the card are complete, the monitor is fully identified including all the modes. X says the first detailed timing is the preferred mode in the log but it chooses some 60Hz mode for this CRT monitor. It probably chooses the largest over the one marked preferred or one that has reasonable refresh rate. Even if it worked this way of configuration is useless because it does not allow to specify *anything* in the config file (keyboard layout, server options, dri options, font paths, graphics driver options, ..). Many of these options could be set or worked around in gdm scripts but some cannot. For one, on Matrox cards the default is hardware cursor which is broken. Another recurring problem is the option to use DDC readings defaulting to off for some drivers. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Michal: For automatic device detection, the plan is to let xorg do full autodetection of both the monitor and the graphics card. That is still a work in progress (although it already works well for many configurations). This is actually considered the *true* fix for this bug 3731, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how well it works. You can test it by commenting out the Device and Monitor section in your xorg.conf and the two corresponding lines in your ServerLayout, starting X, and see if it picks up the right device, card, and resolution rates. This should work for Gutsy, and *maybe* in Feisty, but there's still a lot of hardware that probably won't get detected right. Thanks for the suggestion to save the screen settings, that sounds like it could be useful. I'll experiment with implementing that once I've got more of the basics in place. Sitsofe: thanks, I hadn't seen that spec before; it's got a number of interesting links for me to check out. I'd noticed a few proposals for fallback modes in the wiki, so this is definitely an idea that's been kicking around a while. Tony: Actually the plan for the LiveCD situation is rather than pop into the failsafe mode, to just go ahead and boot the LiveCD with vesa or vga or fbdev, so BulletProofX won't be relevant in that situation. However, the displayconfig-gtk tool will be present in the Admin menu, so if you got booted into a low resolution, you can use that to select your monitor/device/resolution, test it with the Test button, and then go into the installer like normal. I hope the installer will then notice you've already configured xorg and reuse your changes, but that may take some work to iron out the kinks.

An early preview about a GUI config tool we've been working on to help address this problem, since I know many people are having this problem and wondering what the plan is: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/BulletProofX/ This is not a true fix for the root cause of this bug, however it is going to be a better workaround than having to manually hand-edit your xorg.conf. The above link shows the tool in use when Ubuntu has completely failed to generate a working xorg.conf, and provides a failsafe environment where the user can select monitor/device settings. The displayconfig-gtk tool will also be available from within Ubuntu's System menu, to allow re-configuration once Ubuntu has launched. Neither of these capabilities are implemented in Gutsy yet, but should be within the coming weeks; I'll update here once there is something that can actually be tried out. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks good, this is certainly an improvement over the X broke, you are to keep the pieces dialog. I would suggest several other things: - when I set the driver to iwantaponny (or physically change the card) I would like the tool to automatically remove the card section and generate a new one, and only bug me if X fails to start after that. - an option (default on) to save screen data, and reuse it when screen is not detected. This could be done as a gdm (or similar) script once X starts. To avoid the need to start in some sort of VGA failsafe mode in most cases this could have several modes 1) detection working (and used by the driver, some have it off by default) - all OK, save data - if the monitor is not in a database of known monitors, offer the option to send the data somewhere for inclusion. The user should fill in the manufacturer and model because the DDC data often says something else. This probably should be the default only in beta distributions. When sent, the monitor should be added to the local database or some whitelist so that the script does not ask again. Perhaps the script could even ask if the manufacturer/model in the database and the detected parameters are correct. 2) detection not working, saved data present - offer the option to use the saved data - once X is restarted ask to make the monitor data default regardless of autodetection - should be hard to select when the screen is not working 3) detection not working - offer a selection of monitors to choose from + some generic types like 19 LCD (1280x1024) or 17 CRT (1024x768) - on restart the same as 2) Note that many monitors that can be detected on one card would fail on another, and some cards may be completely broken in this regard. Thus the semi-automatic building of monitor database could be helpful, and monitors that report bad data could be singled out - users can send the saved data when stuff breaks. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

@Tony, Your edid seems to be correct, and X should use it without problems.

I believe that the same class of problems are causing many monitor resolution/refresh rate problems as listed in bugs 50048, 27667 (these are the bugs I made comments on) and probably many more. The problems with the edid data. The new Xorg server should be able to query monitor by itself for DDC edid info about it's capatibilities, without ddcprobe. This functionality works for me if I leave out monitor specific information from my Xorg.conf like this: Section Monitor Identifier Generic Monitor Option DPMS EndSection In the edid there should be data for the recommended resolution and refresh rate. The problem is however that some monitors have this data wrong (so you don't get the right resolution or refresh rate), or the checksum of the complete data wrong (so you don't get the edid data used by X at all). Either way, could you send the output of the get-edid yourmonitormakeandmodel.edid as attachment to this bug, and possibly the xorg mailing list, so we can see what's wrong with the data and add a quirk for it in the Xorg code? get-edid is in the read-edid package, and it's output can be piped to parse-edid to create the Xorg.conf monitor section). I'm not sure why the checksum for edid data for my monitor is incorrect, it's probably a quirk of my monitor, but for other cases where edid data is different on multiple runs of get-edid or Xorg, it might be best to permanently store this data to be used if nothing valid is detected on subsequent runs. If this gets done in time, it's quite possible that gutsy will finally have good out of the box monitor autodetection support. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

For Feisty, xresprobe is not included in the default installation. In theory, this should not be an issue for most people, however I think for people who don't have xresprobe installed, if they reconfigure Xorg then the new xorg.conf file could result in incomplete monitor detection, and thus lead to this bug. This could also occur if the user installed a new monitor or video card and re-ran `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver- xorg` without first installing xresprobe. It could also occur if a user upgrades from Edgy or Dapper to Feisty, and xresprobe gets uninstalled, and then the user reconfigures xorg. As I understand, this was a unique change for Feisty, and wouldn't affect Edgy or Dapper users since as I understand xresprobe was installed by default in those. For gutsy we've altered things such that xresprobe is once again installed by default, so behavior should at least return to where it was with Edgy and Dapper. In at least one dupe of this bug, having xresprobe present seems to have helped. See bug 109908. However, this change only gives us a partial fix; I know there are additional problems with xresprobe that will crop up even with it installed. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Yes, with a rv100 card and Sony G200 monitor. It was not from boot to boot but from X start to X start. That is probably why Windows keep the resolution settings when no screen is detected.

Hi My name is Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had a problem installing version 7.0. I could not get a resolution greater than 640 x 480. This prevented me from installing the system, therefore I could not do any of the tweaks that you folks had suggested. My solution was to upgrade my video card and now get a resolution of 1024 x 768. I was able to install the system and am using it at present. Thanks for all the support and hope this info is helpful.

Just wanted to add that this doesen't have much to do with the H/V-freqs being wrong - having no freqs in xorg.conf has the same effect, even though the X server reads the monitor's EDID info correctly. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I would like to add that X often does not detect the monitor either. In some cases xresprobe or similar can read the monitor info but X cannot. Sometimes it is the other way around. I suspect there are some marginal setups that require several retries/longer timeouts than usual. And there are several ways to read the info. One can usually query bios or read the info from the monitor. Sometimes one way works and other returns nothing or nonsense. And reading the info is not always reliable. Even if the monitor is connected and turned on. I just started X about a dozen times, and once it came in [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just killing the server and starting a new one fixed the problem. Some drivers in X do not rely on the info returned from the monitor. In the ideal case a xorg.conf with no monitor settings should work. However, some graphics card drivers require a special option to actually use the information read from the monitor. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

bug 91292 shows similar behavior with a cluster of bugs against the nvidia restricted driver. Several have reported that the failed monitor detection only showed up after upgrading to Feisty from earlier versions, suggesting there is a software change involved (perhaps xresprobe went missing, or a driver version changed, or the new xorg 7.2, or...?) -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I have manually edited the xorg.conf many times, with many variations. Yes setting the H and V refresh rates and modes will eventually enable one of a few viewable outcomes, but such is easily broken.

Hi, as this bug seems to be the one where to gather resolution autodetection problems, here I go. Feisty failed to detect well the native resolution (1400x1050) of my laptop screen. That is strange because xresprobe gave the right one. I have no idea what went wrong. It's an asus laptop based on a centrino dothan platform with an X600 graphic card just tested it : xrandr got it right. If you need any debug info, just ask for it.

Some data points from my own experimentation with hardware at hand: Did NOT detect monitor on an Intel x86_64 box with nVidia Quadro NVS 285 card that has a VGA splitter cord that makes the card dual-head capable. It was tricky getting xinerama working on this card so I'm not surprised it had issues here. DID detect a Sony LCD monitor on a Dell XPS x86 system with a Radeon R350. It was connected to the R350's VGA port. Did NOT detect another similar Sony LCD monitor connected to the Radeon's DVI port. I used a DVI-to-VGA adapter since the second monitor is VGA. I don't know if it's DVI or the adapter, or if xresprobe only detects a single monitor. -- Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
