Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 207804
monitor out of range in many instances
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:44 EST
Description of problem: If I try to Install FC6T3 Graphically, I will get an out of range error in the monitor. The out of range frequencies vary with each failure, The vertical Frequency goes out way beyond 100 HZ. The Horizontal frequency also seems to be way out of specified values. With X installed, I first noticed this problem whewn launching the game viruskiller. The monitor showed the out of range. I then checked the working FC5 xorg.conf and the values seemed to be rational. Afterwards, I ran X -configure which made a new configuration in /root. I replaced the old xorg.conf file with the newly generated file. It works, but does not show the 1280x1024 resolution that I used before with FC5. It gives me 1152x864 at 75HZ that works. If I change the resolution to a lower resolution like 1024x768, I get the out of range displayed on my monitor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.4.1-5.fc6 How reproducible: GUI installs, Launch game that changes screen resolutions, change to a lower setting via screen resolution in system > Preferences. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install GUI or switch screen resolutions. 2. Try to use X -configure and replace once working xorg.conf 3. try to reconfigure X with system-config-display --reconfig Actual results: Each method shows errors. S-c-display does not even get the monitor type correctly with this version of X. It was able to get the correct monitor previously with FC5 version of X Expected results: Being able to install with the GUI, being able to play games which switch screen resolutions, the ability to adjust screen resolutions to desired values. Additional info:
Created attachment 137002 [details] File generated with X -configure
Created attachment 137003 [details] Previous startup log when error occured This log was generated when I lowered my screen resolution.
One note, I do not have a monitor hooked up to the nvidia video amd am not using it presently.
This bus seems very similar to these bugs : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197033 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203570
I checked out the reports and feel that they all are related to the config file and the way the mga driver is compiled for FC6. Thanks for the info. Also, I added reference to this bug within the two other bug reports. If bugs are combined and a solution is found, I'm fine with this approach. Thanks! Jim Cornette
Created attachment 137284 [details] Launching GL-117 game I got another out of range error when trying to launch a game. I am able to use X with the mga driver after changing the maximum vertical from 190 Hz to 70 Hz. This is the first failure after the X -configure file was generated. I have no luck with s-c-display doing anything useful.
Does xorg-x11-drv-mga v1.4.2 fix this bug ? => https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203570#c19 Is this bug related to #203570 ?
The problem is corrected by version 1.4.2 that you compiled and made available for bug 203570. I guess we can mark this as a duplicate, since different problems are corrected by the same fix. Marking as duplicate of 203570. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 203570 ***
