Description Alan Matsuoka 2008-05-16 15:20:42 UTC

Description of problem:

This is the comment in IT 124575, describing the problems LVM still has with the
intel driver:

--snip
We have now the results of the final tests available. Because there were so many
faults in the different tests I made some additional testings based on the
unique test results:

1. X starts with the correct resolution (1280x1024) but xrandr /
gnome-display-properties shows resolutions  up to 1600x1024. I have captured
this in: xorg.0.log_lg1800p202kg_x61.log and lg1800p202kg_x61.txt as well as
xorg.0.log_lg1800p206kg_x61.log

2. X starts with a wrong resolution 1280x786 and the user can't set the correct
one. I have seen this on the Esprimo: xorg.0.log_lg1800p202kg_esprimo.log

3. X starts with a wrong resolution 1280x800. This is with different displays on
the T61 with lid open. Logfiles are: xorg.0.log_lg1800p206kg_t61_lid_open.log,
xorg.0.log_eizol985ex_t61_lid_open.log and
xorg.0.log_fscb17-1t7k03_t61_lid_open.log. Output of xrandr is in
fscb17-1t7k03_t61_open.txt.

Regarding the black screen phenomenon we have seen very often I can report that
with Option "modedebug" "on"
I never have seen this. Without this option we ran into this problem in most of
the display tests.
I did an crosscheck and disbled the option in xorg.conf but I was not able to
reproduce this problem. I had also removed the battery pack from my laptop.
After the next reboot I got the black screen.... At the moment
we can live with the "modedebug on" as workaround.

Comment 19 Adam Jackson 2008-09-19 14:28:22 UTC

1.6.5-9.15.el5 has been rebuilt against the new randr sources, which should at least make things fail differently.

Moving to MODIFIED.

Comment 22 Cameron Meadors 2008-12-03 16:59:55 UTC

I tested on snap4 x86_64 on a X61 with ViewSonic VX2025wm external monitor.  I still see the same issue.  The correct mode is used, but xrandr and gnome-display-properties still shows modes that do not work.  I will attach x log and xrandr output.

Comment 26 Adam Jackson 2008-12-04 14:46:45 UTC

Which ones don't work?

Comment 27 Cameron Meadors 2008-12-04 14:55:08 UTC

Neither of the 1920x modes worked.  I spot checked mode smaller that 1680 and they worked.  I can do a more thorough test of all the modes.

Comment 28 Adam Jackson 2008-12-04 21:15:38 UTC

This is going to be awkward.  We can avoid adding the default mode set to the list if the monitor doesn't claim to be continuous-frequency, but some do and some don't.  And there's no really good way to know the size of the monitor in pixels, so we can't necessarily just toss bigger modes out.

Hmm.
