glxgears is not a benchmark. Adding a Virtual line should not change DPI : -(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (101, 101) +(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (89, 89) --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Issue appears to be fixed in current "rawhide" including packages: - kernel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.x86_64 - mesa-*-7.5-0.9.fc11.x86_64 - xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-6.fc11.x86_64 - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1-6.fc11.x86_64 However, the DPI issue persists. Closing this report and filing a new bug report on the latter? |
Created attachment 338148 [details] Custom xorg.conf for ATI Radeon X800 and 21" CRT HP A4576A Description of problem: Adding a line "Virtual 1600 1200" to xorg.conf of an ATI Radeon X800 leads to a garbled GDM/GNOME Desktop when KMS is enabled. The chosen video mode is 1400x1050 which is the optimum one for a 21" CRT like the HP A4576A. Mode 1600x1200 is the maximum resolution one as specified by the manufacturer. It is not accessible when the virtual desktop is smaller than 1600x1200 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-4.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "Virtual 1600 1200" to xorg.conf. 2. Restart X. Actual results: Garbled screen. Expected results: GDM/GNOME session are displayed as expected. Additional info: - Adding "Virtual 1400 1050" or "1408 1056" restore proper operation while improving 3D performance in the same time. - Adding "nomodeset" to the kernel boot options restores proper operation even for the incriminated virtual line. - Currently, DRI2 leads to a significant performance penalty at least as measured by running 'glxgears' [1000 fps instead for 3500 fps]. - System is a current "rawhide" one: * kernel-2.6.29.1-46.fc11.x86_64 * mesa-*-7.5-0.6.fc11.x86_64 * xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-16.fc11.x86_64
