What is the output of running (as root) kudzu -p -b ddc kudzu -p -b ddc output is: - class: VIDEO bus: DDC detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Matrox MGA-G200" mem: 2048 - class: MONITOR bus: DDC detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "ViewSonic P815" id: VSC3651 horizSyncMin: 30 horizSyncMax: 115 vertRefreshMin: 50 vertRefreshMax: 160 mode: 1600x1200 mode: 1600x1200 mode: 1280x1024 mode: 1280x1024 mode: 1152x864 mode: 1024x768 mode: 640x480 mode: 1024x768 We're only getting 2MB of memory indicated from DDC probing not the 8MB on the card. This is why we don't show the higher resolution options. Just for completeness can you attach the generated xorg.conf (backing your one up) and paste in a comment with the output of: system-config-display --verbose --reconfig --noui I'll try and investigate why this might occur Command fails as follows: [root@curlyjoe root]# system-config-display --verbose --reconfig --noui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 412, in ? hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig) NameError: name 'hardware_state' is not defined Not good. What version of s-c-display are you running there? I'll verify that seperately and try and get an update out. Can you update to the system-config-display in rawhide please (just that package should be fine), and try to rerun the above. FC2 RPM package: system-config-display-1.0.14-1 Where's the rawhide package? Created attachment 103515 [details]
generated xorg.conf file
Output of: system-config-display --verbose --reconfig --noui
from package: system-config-display-1.0.18-2:
Trying with card: Matrox Millennium G200
Backing up /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
Writing configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Removing old /etc/X11/X
Creating /etc/X11/X symlink
Kicking gdm
Bill, any idea why we might get back less memory than is on the card via ddc probing? I thought at one point all Matrox cards returned 2MB. :/ Thanks to the above comment it sounded like a bug in the Matrox firmware. I found a bios update on the Matrox site and installed it. That has fixed the problem. Thank you. |
