Sounds like this machine has Intel i8xx video hardware present in it. Could you please attach your xorg.conf and X server log file from a failed attempt? Thanks in advance. Got the problem fixed on the Fujitsu machines - the machine(s) that still gives the problem are Dell Laptops. I've in the mean time gone through your recommendations that has to do with xpdyinfo and ddcprobe - and the results on the dell are that the screen size is calculated at 542x406mm. The calculation is correct if you work at 75x75dpi - but the dpi is far higher though in real terms. Where can I set these values and try to fix the problem?? ddcprobe failed as the LCD screen probably does not support it... If there is a real bug present here which we need to investigate, once you've attached the files I've requested in comment #1 above I can look into the problem further. You may wish to join some of the Red Hat or X related mailing lists however if you require technical assistance or configuration help. Created attachment 101534 [details]
Xorg log and xorg.conf
please find attached the Xorg.0.log as well as the xorg.conf files as
requested... thx..
Your config file is configured to force it to only use 640x480, which is why that resolution is the only one you're seeing available. Please run "system-config-display --reconfig" and generate a new config file from scratch. Test this file without editing it by hand, and it should work. If it doesn't, please attach the new X server config file and log file as individual uncompressed file attachments, one attachment per file. Thanks in advance. Just to illustrate the problem a bit more clearly, here's the flawed config file section: Section "Screen" SubSection "Display" <- Viewport 0 0 <- Depth 16 <- Modes "640x480" <---- 640x480 right here EndSubSection <- Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Additionally, the log file you've attached, shows it is using 1600x1200x24bit depth. Did you attach the correct log file and config file above from a non-working setup? Created attachment 101535 [details]
xconf.py script that causes error
The specific subsection in question was removed in one of the testing sessions,
with still the same results.
I've just rerun system-config-display... resulting in an error -
File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 412, in ?
hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig)
NameError: name 'hardware_state' is not defined
I've checked the script - "xconf.py" - hardware_state is also used in other
areas, which do not cause any problems?! I've also checked the script on
another machine (server box) and they are identical - running it causes the
same error... I'm attaching the xconf.py for your input...
That's a bug in system-config-display or it's deps, not an xorg-x11 bug. Reassigning to system-config-display component. the log file and conf files are both from the same dell laptop giving the problem and abovementioned error. should I force the resolution to 1024x768 in xorg.conf, reconnect to the projector and create a new log file?? the previous log file was copied minutes after we disconnected from the projector - without any changes to xorg.conf or the resolution settings.... We need the log and config file from the configuration that is causing the problem. By examining the log file of the X server which is not working properly, and comparing it with the config file, it helps to determine wether it is a legitimate bug, or wether it is just a configuration issue or limitation of the implementation, or some other problem. For ease of viewing, please attach the files as individual uncompressed files, and we'll review them for troubleshooting once you've updated the report. Thanks for the report.

X - log file
the log file attached is one that was created from booting with the projector
connected. the dell resolution was set at 1024x768...
Can you retest with FC3t3 or the most recent FC2 system-config-display erratum run system-config-display --reconfig when the projector is attached - attach the generated config Does the hardware_state error occur when you do that? Reporter, please reopen if this is still an issue with FC3 or later. |
