Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/294277/#caserun_13783570) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL-7.3-20160914.1 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.2-22.el7.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-506.el7.x86_64 linux-firmware-20160830-49.git7534e19.el7.noarch package mesa is not installed mesa-dri-drivers-11.2.2-2.20160614.el7.x86_64 package xorg-x11-glamor is not installed Steps to Reproduce: 1. obtain two screens with different resolution 2. boot to runlevel 3 1. after you log in disconnect first monitor and connect the other one 2. check resolution via monitor menu or fbset (from epel or fedora repo) Actual results: Switching from 1920x1080 to 1920x1200 I get a resolution of 1400x1050 on the 1900x1200 monitor Expected results: correct resolution should be set
I think I know exactly what this issue is, it's probably not actually a bug. Basically, in order to make sure that the console can get displayed on both monitors fbcon does the very easy method of choosing a single resolution that both monitors can support. If they're different resolutions, then one of the monitors is always going to be at a lower resolution then the other. Additionally, in your case it's very possible that one of those monitors doesn't support 1080p and thus it goes to a lower resolution for both displays. Mind showing me the full list of supported modes from both monitors? I should be able to tell pretty easily if this is the case.
