Description Chad Groneman 2006-03-02 16:08:27 UTC
Beginning around 10.1 beta4, my monitor was no longer automatically detected.  It is an NEC MultiSync LCD 1735NXM.  It used to be selectable in the list of monitors, but no longer is.  Now it is detected as a vesa monitor.

The monitor definitely is in 10.0, and I'm 95% sure it showed up correct with 10.1 beta3.  The monitor is not in the list with beta4 and beta6.

I have the same problem with a ViewSonic Professional Series P90f
Comment 2 Marcus Schaefer 2006-03-06 13:33:20 UTC
If you don't mind provide the information from

  hwinfo --monitor

from 10.1 of course

Thanks
Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-03-06 13:46:21 UTC
I would need the log of 'hwinfo --monitor --log=xxx', actually.

Comment 5 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-03-06 14:05:44 UTC
Uuuh, that is powerpc. Chad, you are using ppc as well, or a more common
i386-like machine?

Peter, you're sure it worked before beta 4? If so, could you attach the
same log where it detected the monitor successfully?
Comment 6 peter czanik 2006-03-06 14:42:24 UTC
I don't have earlier betas any more, but as far as I can remember, it worked earlier.

On my i386 using the same monitor I could not get this far in installation (some kernel trouble), but hwinfo seems to have correct info. I'll attach it.

Comment 8 Chad Groneman 2006-03-06 15:14:06 UTC
I am using an x86-64.  I'll attach my logs when I get home from work.
Comment 9 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-03-06 15:20:21 UTC
Peter, please run getsysinfo and attach it.

hwinfo --monitor --log=... x86-64 (NEC Monitor)

It looks to me like this does detect the monitor correctly, but it doesn't show up in sax2 that way.
Comment 13 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-03-08 13:58:50 UTC
Ok, then this is something completely different.

I've splitted the bug up. Lets track the sax2 issue that Chad has here
and the ppc issue with hwinfo that Peter found in bug 156075.
Comment 14 Chad Groneman 2006-03-08 14:21:51 UTC
Interestingly, Sax2 does now detect my monitor as what it really is.  Let me do a re-install to verify that my problem happens again.  I'll aim to have that done by tomorrow.
Comment 15 Marcus Schaefer 2006-03-08 15:37:25 UTC
So it works for you now ? Please file a new bug report if you get that
problem again
Comment 16 Chad Groneman 2006-03-08 15:53:57 UTC
I think I may not have to reinstall, but I'll do it again anyway.  Let me know if you want a new bug or just re-open this one.  From the y2log:

Comment 18 Chad Groneman 2006-03-09 03:06:38 UTC
Hmm..  I reinstalled and it detected just fine this time.  Not sure why it didn't the first time.  I'll keep my eyes open to see if it happens again.
