Xorg log

I have a dual-head display that worked fine in F14, but after upgrading, the heads are swapped, so X thinks the leftmost display is actually on the right, making the mouse-wrapping between screens weird.

Comment 1 Elad Alfassa 2011-06-07 14:55:29 UTC
You can change the display arrangement using the relevant control center panel in gnome control center.

That's right workaround, but not a fix. Passing to developers.

Actually do use /etc/X11/xorg.conf or did you rely on Gnome to do the configuration? If the former, could we get it as well, please?

Thank you

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2011-06-07 16:46:00 UTC
xorg.conf is irrelevant. only contains this..

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "no"
EndSection

Radeon driver bug, although I suspect the answer is "yeah, output enumeration changed, sorry about that".

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2011-07-11 19:15:20 UTC
is it likely to be changed back ? or is "move the monitors on your desk around" the solution ?

(I don't mind doing the latter, as long as I'm not doing it every release)

Comment 7 Jérôme Glisse 2011-07-11 19:52:03 UTC
I don't think output enumeration changed but it might have. Could you get a dmesg when booting with drm.debug=4 both with f14 & f15 ?

Anyway it's very likely to be just an enumeration change somewhere either in kernel or ddx.

Comment 8 Dave Jones 2011-07-11 20:10:45 UTC
This is my main workstation, so reinstalling f14 would be a pain right now.
I have a dmesg from the old install, but it didn't have the drm.debug=4 switch, so not really helpful I guess.

I'll get the f15 dmesg next reboot.

dmesg with drm.debug=4

Comment 10 Jérôme Glisse 2011-07-12 13:34:57 UTC
I was thinking something like boot f14 livecd

Comment 11 Jérôme Glisse 2011-07-12 13:35:38 UTC
Even log from f14 with drm.debug could be helpfull

Comment 12 Jérôme Glisse 2011-07-12 13:35:46 UTC
Without

Comment 13 Dave Jones 2011-07-14 19:44:52 UTC
nnggh. the f14 livecd doesn't complete booting. I'll try fighting it for a while to see if I can at least get it as far as booting X. (right now it dies trying to find its root fs)

Comment 14 Dave Jones 2011-09-01 18:13:42 UTC
I think this isn't an X issue after all.
I used to run gnome, and with f15, I switched to xfce.

I just stumbled across a setting that starts all the gnome-session stuff when xfce logs in. When I enable that, something runs just after I log in, which switches the heads into the positions I expect them to be in.

So feel free to close this out..
