Description dominique 2014-05-13 15:53:43 UTC
I update my rawhide F21 to kernel 3.15.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc21, but with this kernel I have a bad resolution, 1024x768, but my laptop work with 1600x900.
Output of xrandr (version 1.4):
 
[dominique@host ~]$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768

Same output with kernel 3.15.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc21 :

With this kernel I have a good resolution, 1600x900.

It's a bug or not ?

Please attach the output of dmesg from both the good and bad kernels.

In your good kernel version dmesg, you're using the nouveau driver which is loading properly.  In your bad kernel version dmesg you have nouveau blacklisted, so it isn't loading at all.

I'm guessing at some point you installed the proprietary nvidia driver and that stopped working.  Fedora doesn't provide or support the nvidia driver, so we can't help with issues there.

If you aren't using the nvidia driver, I have no idea why nouveau is blacklisted.  Remove the blacklist and see if it works.

Comment 5 dominique 2014-05-13 19:07:59 UTC
Thank for your response, that solve problem.
I used nvidia drivers but I remove it because they don't work with kernel 3.15.0-0.rc5 (problem with ABI version).

I don't know why nouveau is blacklisted with this kernel, but I remove that in grub.conf and I have the good resolution.

I closed this bug as notabug.
Thank.
