Now that I actually look at the log I posted, it appears that the EDID for my panel actually only returns the 1920x1200 resolution. So this may be NOTABUG (or at least NOTANINTELBUG) actually ... Turns out that if I boot with "nomodeset", then the other resolutions reappear. My outputs get renamed too: with modesetting, they're called LVDS1 and VGA1, but without modesetting they're called LVDS and VGA. Similar things also happen on my husband's computer, which has a Radeon graphics card, so I'm reassigning this to the X server instead of the Intel driver. To be concrete, here's the output of xrandr with kernel mode-setting on: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3200 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 connected 1280x1024+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 359mm x 287mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 LVDS1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1920x1200 60.0*+ 40.0 DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV1 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 And here's the output with mode-setting off (nb: the different screen configuration isn't relevant): Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1920 x 1920 VGA connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 359mm x 2 87mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0* 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1920x1200 60.0 + 40.0 1400x1050 60.0 1280x1024 60.0* 1280x960 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Different maximum screen size, different output names (VGA vs. VGA1), different modes available on LVDS(1) ... is any of this expected or documented anywhere? Okay, the resolution issue is bug 496813, and the maximum size is apparently an inherent property of mode-setting, fine. However, the changing device names are still a problem, one which causes issues with both the command-line xrandr tool and xorg.conf-based configuration if you want it to work with/without mode-setting. *** Bug 501557 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] As far as I can tell, the device-name changing still happens with the latest Fedora 11 Xorg drivers, and also with Fedora 12. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 340001 [details] Xorg.0.log Description of problem: My graphics card is an Intel X4500HD (reported by lspci as "00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev07)". Fedora comes up correctly in the native resolution of my laptop's internal display, but xrandr reports no other modes are possible. Here's the output (with no external monitor plugged in): Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1920x1200 60.0*+ 40.0 DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV1 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 If I ever give a presentation off this laptop, it's always nice to be able to synch the on-screen resolution with that of the data projector, so it would be nice to see at least 1024x768 and 1280x1024 in there. In Windows, other resolutions like 1600x1200 are also available too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.99.902-3.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run xrandr Actual results: Only the native resolution is listed Expected results: Other resolutions like 1600x1200, 1280x1024, etc. are listed Additional info: I'll attach my XOrg.0.log from my current session. I plugged in and then unplugged an external monitor during this session to see what xrandr would do. I don't use an xorg.conf
