Description Pavel Rosenboim 2007-09-18 15:12:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
X display resolution is set to 800x600 instead of native (for my LCD display)
1280x1024.

During graphical boot, the resolution is correct, but login screen is displayed
in 800x600 mode. Sometimes, killing X server causes it to restart in correct mode.

Can you attach the X log from starting in 800x600 please?

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2007-10-04 14:54:03 UTC 
Are you starting X with an external monitor attached?  The nv driver isn't
capable of multihead, and will get confused if you try.
Comment 4 Pavel Rosenboim 2007-10-04 17:46:14 UTC 
No. Just one monitor.
Comment 5 Dave Airlie 2007-10-11 01:06:41 UTC 
have you plugged in both DVI and VGA cables into the card?

for some reason it is detecting a crt connected..
Comment 6 Pavel Rosenboim 2007-10-11 06:36:01 UTC 
No. Monitor is always connected with VGA cable. I never tried DVI connection.
Comment 7 Adam Jackson 2007-10-11 15:42:41 UTC 
Oh, I get it.  It really is connected analog, it's just that the monitor is
lying and claiming a digital connection.

The driver almost gets this case right.  It does notice when there's a mismatch
between the analog connector detection and the DDC info, but what it does in
that case is just throws the DDC info away, hence the 800x600 limit.
Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2007-10-11 15:52:42 UTC 
Try this scratch build:

Comment 9 Pavel Rosenboim 2007-10-16 06:56:37 UTC 
So far, it works.
Comment 10 Adam Jackson 2008-02-12 15:28:24 UTC 
Yikes, old bug.  Lost the original patch for this, but think I rewrote it correctly.

Built as nv 2.1.6-8.fc9, closing.
