Description of problem: This is the same machine as in bug #1038367. This machine chooses a non-optimal resolution of 800x600, even though, according to xrandr, 1024x768 is available. If I try to use xrandr -s to change the screen resolution to 1024x768, the mode switch fails. Instead, the screen goes all black, and the power led, normally green, turns blinking orange, just like when blanking the screen for powersave. If I try to blindly run xrandr -s to switch back to 800x600, it has no effect - the screen remains black. However, the X server is still active. The Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys work and I can switch to the text consoles. However switching back to the graphics session restores the black screen. The only way to recover is to kill the xorg process, which restarts it at the login screen. This is not an issue of a monitor that does not support the resolution. If I place configuration files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to force the initial resolution to 1024x768, the graphics session does start with the specified resolution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.3.3-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a VIA chipset and xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.3.3-1.fc19.x86_64 2. Attempt to switch modes with xrandr -s 3. Actual results: Screen goes black until Xorg is killed Expected results: Screen should switch to the specified resolution, if supported. Additional info: This bug is also present in Fedora 18 since xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.3.3-1 . The package xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.3.1 was not affected by this bug.
Can you please provide the xorg log after a failed mode switch ? Also, would it be possible you try latest git master ? See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Openchrome/Installation/ for directions.
Created attachment 836086 [details] Xorg.0.log before xrandr -s 640x480 At this point the screen is at 800x600, desktop visible.
Created attachment 836087 [details] Xorg.0.log after xrandr -s 640x480 At this point the CRT blacked out and the green LED now blinks orange.
The two previous attachments were done with the distro driver. I am now checking out the trunk version for git in order to compile.
Created attachment 836114 [details] Xorg.0.log for recompiled driver, crash on xrandr -s 1024x768 Bad news. The HEAD of the driver repository crashes instead of blanking the screen. This is the log of this driver version.

It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Still present in Fedora 21 x86_64 live CD.
