Bug 498780
Created attachment 342214 [details] Photo of my crt monitor at the time the screenshot (attachment 342210 [details]) was made. Quite as expected. Created attachment 342216 [details] Photo of my tft monitor at the time the screenshot (attachment 342210 [details]) was made. Not nice. Sorry about the component mentioned in the bug report being xalan-c. I missed that when filing the original bug and can't find a way to alter it now. I don't really know which component is concerned here. Thanks for your report. Given you have a Radeon GPU, I guess you use an "ati" driver, reassigning appropriately. You'd be likely asked to attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log by the desktop people; please attach it (and in case you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please attach it as well). Yes, I use the ati driver, that is, I haven't installed the fglrx driver which doesn't support my card anyway, iirc. I will attach my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log both with and without kernel mode setting. Created attachment 342225 [details]
My xorg.conf

My Xorg.0.log without kernel mode setting (i.e. using nomodeset)
This bug report can be closed. Upgrading to the 2.6.29.1-111.fc11 kernel fixed this issue for me. Thanks |
Created attachment 342210 [details] A screenshot of my complete desktop, made while the display on the tft monitor was distorted. Description of problem: I have dual monitor setup with a crt monitor (1600x1200; d-sub) and a tft monitor (1920x1200; dvi). This works fine when I boot with the nomodeset kernel boot option. If I omit this option the tft monitor seems to display the same image that is on the crt monitor in a very corrupted manner. Windows I open on the ctr monitor have some vague mirror image on the tft monitor. The cursor can still move from one monitor to the other, and judging by the screenshot I took with ksnapshot the X server seems to think everything is fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F11 preview KDE-4 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just boot without the nomodeset kernel boot option 2. 3. Actual results: Distorted and unusable image on the tft monitor. Expected results: A nice big desktop consisting of both monitors. Additional info: Radeon 9800-Pro video card.
