It seems ypur monitor is not providing an EDID. The default VertRefresh and HorizSync might be to narrow. Try to get the values from your monitor manual and set them in the Monitor section of your xorg conf. Also, you can probably remove all but the Identifier and Driver lines from the Device section. As a reference, can you please provide your xorg conf ? Created attachment 340392 [details]
xorg.conf
this is the xorg.conf I am testing with created with X --configure
ps the monitor is a panel connected by lvds
Oh, that explains the issue then. Add the following lines to the Device section of your xorg conf : Option "ActiveDevice" "LCD" Option "ForcePanel" Forcing the panel size with Option "PanelSize" "800x600" may or may not be needed anymore. that fixed it, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! wow, ive been playing with this all day, and boom you fix it in 2 minutes. thanks You're welcome. Closing as CANTFIX, as the real fix would be to have the driver properly detect that a panel is connected to LVDS. |
