I built a server from cvs yesterday to play with the new RandR extension,
and found a problem. Or at least I think it's a problem - it could be
intentional.
I'm using a laptop with a 1024x768 display (R128 driver, 16-bit color).
The relevant section of the Screen section of XF86Config-4 looks like:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Virtual 1280 1024
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
For some reason, the server starts in 1024x768 mode, not 1280x1024 with a
1024x768 viewable area, as I would expect (and as 4.2.0 does with the same
XF86Config-4 file). This makes it impossible to use RandR as I'd like to,
since if X is started with no monitor attached, it can't get above
1024x768 even when a monitor is attached.
It seems strange that the server is ignoring the Virtual line, and
starting in 1024x768 mode, even when that mode isn't present on the
Modes line (I also noticed that RandR offers a large list of modes which
aren't on the Modes line either; presumably that is intentional).
Am I missing something, or has something broken since 4.2.0?
I can provide a log file if anyone's interested.
Thanks,
Brian
