Marcus, please have a look.
The monitor is detected as generic monitor which means there is no real detection from libhd: 59: None 00.0: 10000 Monitor [Created at fb.70] Unique ID: rdCR.EY_qmtb9YY0 Hardware Class: monitor Model: "Generic Monitor" Vendor: "Generic" Device: "Monitor" Resolution: 800x600@75Hz Driver Info #0: Max. Resolution: 800x600 Vert. Sync Range: 50-90 Hz Hor. Sync Range: 31-48 kHz Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown This happens if there is no DDC information available which is in almost all cases a hardware problem. Please check out the following: - Is the monitor connected via BNC cable ? - Is the monitor connected via a KVM switch ? - Is the monitor capable of doing DDC (monitor manual) The monitor is not part of the CDB so if somebody can send me specs I can add it but with the autodetection information this is not possible
I am not technician and I cannot answer your questions. I reported this bug because I see that Mandriva, Ubuntu-live or Knoppix use the right resolution for LCD screen on nx6110.
nice to know but how should I investigate or fix a bug without further information ?
