Description Frank Arnold 2005-08-07 22:30:38 UTC
This report is somewhat related to #151459

When starting s-c-display I get no option for the native resolution of my
PowerBook. Searched and found the closed upstream bug. Searched further and
found, that in the meantime a patch with modelines was added to xorg-x11.
Started to test and got a result:

Added modelines to /usr/share/rhpl/extramodes and updated the laptop-modes patch
for xorg-x11:

# 1280x854 @ 60Hz (PowerBook 15in) hsync: 51.96kHz; pclk: 79.81 MHz
Modeline "1280x854"  79.81  1280 1296 1408 1536  854 855 858 866  -Hsync -Vsync

# 1440x900 @ 60Hz (PowerBook 17in) hsync: 54.7 kHz; pclk: 96.21 MHz
Modeline "1440x900"   96.21  1440 1504 1536 1760  900 903 906 912  -Hsync -Vsync

The latter one is a result of Google search:
http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2003-October/010307.html.

Now the resolution was available with s-c-display, but not when running with
--reconfig switch.

Finally added "1280x854" to XF86SupportedResolutions() in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xf86config.py and got it working (1440x900 is
already listed there).

Would be nice to get this in.

This should be resolved in rawhide as of s-c-d 1.0.45-1 or later.  Please test
and reopen if this is still an issue for you.

Comment 4 Frank Arnold 2006-10-14 15:54:38 UTC
[frank@notebook ~]$ rpm -q system-config-display
system-config-display-1.0.45-1

Still not working.
The list now contains 1440x900, but not 1280x854.
With --reconfig I get the options 1280x800, 1152x768, 1024x768, 800x600, and
640x480.


Comment 5 Adam Jackson 2007-01-29 23:42:08 UTC
Mmm, we should be listing the resolutions advertised by the X server.  What does
'xrandr -q' print?

Comment 6 Frank Arnold 2007-02-07 14:28:52 UTC
The situation has improved.

Here's the output of 'xrandr -q' with up to date Rawhide:

 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1280 x 854    ( 322mm x 221mm )  *60  
 1    640 x 350    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 2    640 x 400    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 3    720 x 400    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 4    640 x 480    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 5    800 x 600    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 6   1024 x 768    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 7    832 x 624    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 8   1152 x 768    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 9   1280 x 720    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 10  1280 x 800    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
 11  1280 x 768    ( 322mm x 221mm )   60  
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal 
Reflections possible - none

The dropdown list now contains exactly these resolutions except the first one,
which is the native resolution.

Comment 7 Adam Jackson 2007-03-12 20:13:58 UTC
Alright, added 1280x854 and a few others to pyxf86config, which might help
matters.  Please try pyxf86config 0.3.33-1 and reopen if this is still an issue.

Thanks!

Comment 8 Robert Story 2007-04-17 22:48:03 UTC
I still have this issue with system-config-display-1.0.45-1 (FC6). I seem the
same xrandr output as above..
