Description Jeremy Katz 2006-10-03 00:39:40 UTC

I'm not getting X coming up in the proper resolution on my desktop box at home
with a Radeon X300SE.  Attached via DVI to an LCD (1280x1024) and all I'm
getting with the stock X config is 800x600.  Log file attached.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-10-03 00:43:36 UTC

Using the radeon option "DDCMode" "on" seems to cause it to DTRT...

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2006-10-03 16:21:18 UTC

You're using xorg-x11-drv-ati < 6.6.2-4, aren't you.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2006-10-03 17:26:59 UTC

I'm 99% sure that I grabbed -4 to try last night -- I can double check when I
get home

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2006-10-04 20:37:38 UTC

Yep, definitely have -4 and need the option in the config

Comment 6 Thomas M Steenholdt 2006-10-24 05:47:07 UTC

I believe i'm seing the same problem in a slightly different incarnation.
I'm on 6.6.2-4 too, but running on an IBM ThinkPad T42 with a ATI Technologies
Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10].

If doing a clean boot all the way to X, the resolution is fine. Any later
restarts of X, logout, runlevel changes etc. that would cause X to restart
triggers the problem for me and I also end in 800x600.

option "DDCMode" "on" does not work around this problem for me.

But i checked the Xorg.0.log file for interesting info and it looks like X for
some reason believes that I have an external monitor connected to the system
(which I don't - for the sake of clarity :o)). But since there really is no
monitor, practically all usable resolutions are "out of range" and we end in
800x600.

To let X know that i really have no external monitor connected, I added:

option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, NONE"

to xorg.conf and problem is now successfully worked around.

Comment 8 Thomas M Steenholdt 2006-10-24 05:54:13 UTC

Both Jeremy's and my own log file have :

(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor DDC, default HSync and
VRefresh used

The problem is further that this faulty detection is used to find a common mode
for MergedFB - leaving us in 800x600.

Jeremy, have you seen this recently?
