The catch is that currently I do not have a monitor with such
display proportions not mentioning 1920x1200 "native". When
I will stumble upon such beast then I can retry.
Wonderful, then although I have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, please, reopen when you get your hands on that monitor again. |
Description of problem: I just got an opportunity to try with Samsung SyncMaster 244T. This is 1920x1200 the current model LCD. After X is started then the following shows up, among other things in logs: (II) RADEON(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) RADEON(0): clock: 154.0 MHz Image Size: 518 x 324 mm (II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1920 h_sync: 1968 h_sync_end 2000 h_blank_end 2080 h_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): v_active: 1200 v_sync: 1203 v_sync_end 1209 v_blanking: 1235 v_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 56 V max: 75 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 81 kHz, PixClock max 170 MHz One option is to try to use "Generic LCD 1920x1200". Such option is offered but the highest available resolution offered is, surprisingly enough, "1600x1200". If one will accept that then HorizSync and VertRefresh values written in a "Monitor" section are not really correct but reasonable enough and in "Screen" section shows up a long "Modes" line starting with "1600x1200" and no "1920x1200" anywhere in sight. The above clearly does not provide correctly configured display. OTOH after "1920x1200" is added in front of "Modes" then this works as expected. Another configuration possibility in system-config-display is to try Samsung SyncMaster 243T. Not entirely correct but close enough. That does not write any "Modes" lines at all even if the highest possible offered by s-c-d resolution, which happens to be 1680x1050, is picked up. After starting X with that configuration one can notice 1920x1200 on xrandr list but a display is in 1600x1200 with 1920x1200 serving as "virtual". xrandr will switch to a correct resolution when asked. Also adding Modes "1920x1200" in xorg.conf has a desired effect. An xrandr produced list does not change but a mode used by default does. BTW - 1680x1050 which showed up in s-c-d is not on that list at all. Interestingly enough if instead of adding "Modes" like the above one will copy from /var/log/Xorg.0.log to "Monitor" section a correpsponding modeline then a display is again correct and xrandr produced list is much longer now, while totally different, and with "right proportion" entries like "960 x 600". That modeline happens to be: Modeline "1920x1200" 154.00 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 +hsync -vsync Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-display-1.0.48-1.fc7
