Description Alex Hudson (Fedora Address) 2008-09-19 12:54:00 UTC

Description of problem:

(First, thanks for making nouveau available - on my Quadro NVS 135M it's a big improvement speed-wise over nv)

I'm using the Fedora 10 alphas and nouveau is working pretty well, but it's not making full use of my screen area. The screen res. applet lets me go up to 1440 x 1050, but I think my display is much bigger - either way, I've ended up with two black bars on either side of the screen.

I haven't tried putting a modeline into my xorg.conf, but I have checked that there's nothing in there setting/overriding resolution.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.11-1.20080902git6dd8ad4.fc10.x86_64

Additional info:

In my Xorg.log, I see:

(II) NOUVEAU(0): I2C device "LVDS-0:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0.
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Detected a Digital output on LVDS-0
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Found a suitable output, index 0

... but then later ...

... and some lesser resolutions then mentioned.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Having worked with some helpful people on #nouveau, it looks like this was a driver problem, the following patch fixed it up.

I rebuilt the rpm with this patch applied and I'm back to full resolution.
