Description link141 2017-01-30 17:53:10 UTC
Description of problem:
Under Wayland, it is impossible to change any monitor settings through the "Displays" dialog in Gnome as it sets the monitor to an unsupported mode.  This results in a monitors displaying a message that the current timing mode is unsupported (and effectively no video output).  Under X11, changing the monitor resolution, rotation, etc work as expected.

This happens when any settings are changed through the Displays dialog, including options that don't change the video mode (eg: setting primary/secondary, display position, display rotation, or turning off displays).  This also happens when inserting a monitors.xml file with the default display settings into the user's home directory--or when inserting this file in /var/lib/gdm/.config/.

My display setup includes two monitors, with one rotated 90 degrees.  Both GDM and GNOME set both monitors to the correct resolution and timing by default when using wayland--it's only when I try to change monitor settings from the default that I experience the issue. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm 3.22.1 1.fc25
mutter 3.22.2 3.fc25
Linux 4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64

Architecture: x86_64

How reproducible:
The issue is 100% reproducible on my host.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Gnome Wayland session
2. Open "Displays" settings dialog
3. Change any settings that don't modify resolution/refresh
4. Click apply

Alternatively
1. Create $HOME/.config/monitors.xml or /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml with the same settings as default for the relevant Wayland displays
2. Log in/out of the Gnome Wayland session or restart the machine (for user, GDM config respectively

Actual results:
Monitor mode is set incorrectly (timing issue?)

Expected results:
Monitor mode should be set identical to the default

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397246

My monitor is a Dell U3014, and the native mode is 2560x1600 @60Hz.

Comment 2 John Duchek 2017-05-17 15:37:00 UTC
about 3 months ago I started having a similar problem.  My dual monitor system suddenly swapped settings for the two monitors. It happened when a new kernel was loaded, and I could reverse the settings by loading the older kernel.  
It is still happening, and the the settings display program can be corrected by reversing the settings for the monitors.  Unfortunately if one monitor can do 1900x 1050 and the other can do only 1200x1000, both are limited to the 1200x1000 since while the settings are reversed the info about resolution it picks up are not. Also unfortunate is the fact that the kernels older than3 past are deleted as I can no longer use that work around. I am using XFCE with Fedora 25

Comment 3 Giuseppe Castagna 2017-07-17 09:58:20 UTC
I have a very similar problem, different monitor, Dell U3014 (as link141), in a three monitors configuration where the two other monitors have 90 degrees rotation. In Wayland the dell works up to resolution 1680x1050 but not with higher resolutions in particular with the unscaled 2560x1600 @ 60.
   But it works under Xorg, so I have to stick to it. I am in Fedora 26, Gnome.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:44:55 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:36:07 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
