[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1173492] Re: XRandR cannot set scaling mode
In my case the root cause of this issue was corrupted firmware rather than problems with XRandR (X11-xserver-utils). The machine in question had been running lm sensors 3.3.2 which was discovered to potentially cause firmware corruption in Sept 2013. The issue was immediately resolved following a re-flash of the BIOS on the T60 in question. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173492 Title: XRandR cannot set scaling mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1173492/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Still have the problem with the 3.5.0-26 Generic kernel (x64)... I haven't tried changing the connection type yet, I normally use DVI, but my monitor can also use VGA, will try later and will post in a day or 2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173492 Title: XRandR cannot set scaling mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1173492/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hmm... I just checked my kernel version, I am running 3.2.0-38-Generic (from package linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic_3.2.0-38.61_amd64.deb). Dave, what was the last kernel you used where it worked properly? Also, your behaviour is slightly different from mine, your screen is top-left, but mine is centered both left-right and up-down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173492 Title: XRandR cannot set scaling mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1173492/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Oops, sorry I missed that you have it working correctly with 3.5.0-26. But that is still newer than my running kernel... Will install 3.5.0-26 and see if that helps... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173492 Title: XRandR cannot set scaling mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1173492/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1173492] Re: XRandR cannot set scaling mode
I'm using Intel integrated graphics instead of ATI/AMD, and I'm also on a 32-bit kernel instead of AMD64. I'm not sure if this points to separate driver issues, or an issue with X. I've also noticed that the issue seems to affect only the Thinkpad LCD (LVDS1), a monitor connected to VGA1 scales properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173492 Title: XRandR cannot set scaling mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1173492/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1173492] Re: XRandR cannot set scaling mode
Seeing identical behavior running Xubuntu 12.10 13.04 on an IBM Thinkpad T60. Scaling mode quit working when updating to kernel 3.5.0-27 on 12.10 and continues to not work on 13.04. Default resolution for this panel is 1024x768; switching to either 800x600 or 640x480 results in a window of that size at the top-left of the screen with black borders below and to the right. Confirmed that booting with the 3.5.0-26 kernel in 12.10 resolved the issue and scaling resumed working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173492 Title: XRandR cannot set scaling mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1173492/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
