Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 444182
problem with 1024x768 resolution on MGA G200e
Last modified: 2012-04-26 13:51:55 EDT
Description of problem: I installed 5.2 Snapshot 7 x86_64 on a Intel Tylersburg EP / Nehalem B0 SDV. It came up in 1024x768 according to s-c-d. But the display was oddly squished horizontally as if it was really a widescreen resolution being displayed on my 4x3 screen. It looked bad as if the refresh was very poor as well. I switched to 800x600 which came up fine, restarted X. Now 1024x768 is not an option in s-c-d. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mga driver version 1.4.2-7.el5, but not sure what component this is really in How reproducible: Only saw once on install so far.
Same thing on i386. Running xclock with -geometry I've convinced myself that the actual resolution is 1280x768.
Same thing on Fedora 9 Preview i386, FWIW.
Ah, sorry, on F9p s-c-d recognizes the resolution as 1360x768. Can't seem to successfully change to lower res with s-c-d.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 306302 [details] conf file after I had lowered the resolution
Created attachment 306303 [details] X log after I had lowered the resolution
Created attachment 306304 [details] X log after starting with no xorg.conf present This reproduced the problem, the resolution X decided to run at was weirdly squished.
Almost certainly fixed since.
