RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Hans de Goede 2013-04-11 10:27:32 UTC
Created attachment 734106 [details]
xorg.conf

When using multiple qxl devices + xinerama, or multiple qxl devices with each being a separate screen (*), the only way to set the resolution is through xorg.conf, but for resolutions higher then 1026x768 this fails with the following error in Xorg.conf:

[     8.480] (II) qxl(0): Not using mode "1280x1024@60Hz" (height too large for virtual size)

I'll attach an example xorg.conf for a setup with 3 qxl devices where each is mapped to a separate Screen, and each should come up with a resolution of 1280x1024, but instead comes up with 1024x768.

*) Having each card as a separate screen is useful for running old proprietary X applications which were designed for multi monitor setups at a time that that still meant 1 screen per monitor.
