sysreport of the affected system.
I also see the same bug, but with different hardware (though still nv), modes, etc. (RHEL5 Workstation) A better description might be "xorg ignores Modeline in xorg.conf," since it's all the values, not just the width parameter, that's ignored. I can't tell if it's specific to nv, since I have no non-nv hardware on which to test. tc: Should the priority be bumped from low to medium? This bug seems like pretty basic functionality that should be fixed. I've got the modeline not to be ignored by changing the Mode name in xorg.conf to be something other than one of the default names. Instead of Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Modeline "1024x768" 78.80 1024 1056 1152 1312 ... I use Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Modeline "Override" 78.80 1024 1056 1152 1312 ... Then setting ... Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Modes "Override" ... works for me. Created attachment 190151 [details]

Thomas, how did you get that modeline into your xorg.conf in the first place? vim. The Viewsonic LCD monitors I use are "optimized" for 1440x900 and they pop up annoying little messages about needing to be at 1440x900 for best results, so I set up that resolution and then used xvidtune to move the screens until they looked right. I hit the "show" button in xvidtune to display the modeline and then edited the xorg.conf file. No further X updates are planned for RHEL5. |
