display too far on the right on miro flatscreen
Last modified: 2005-11-28 13:54:58 UTC
On my miro flatscreen, the display is always too far on the right. When I tell yast2 to move it more to the left, save, and restart the X system, just nothing changes. Before my update to SUSE 10, I used to be able to change the display position by: yast2 -> hardware -> Graphic Card and Monitor -> Change -> Desktop -> Monitor -> Change Configuration -> Properties -> LCD -> 1280x1024 @ 70 Hz -> Expert -> XServerPool -> saving -> restarting X with CTRL_ALT_Backspace Without the setting "XServerPool", it did not work. Now, after the update, this setting is gone. Why doesn't yast2 react on the changes I do for the display position ?
I would suggest to call sax2 -> change monitor to "LCD -> 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz" and give it a test. almost all flatscreens requires 60Hz to put the picture in the middle automatically Regards Marcus
no further information
what does "no further information" mean ? You fixed it and give no further information, because it just works ? For my part, I am waiting to come home from work and will try your suggestion maybe this weekend. Does resolution "remind" mean you inform me when SUSE 11 is out with my bug fixed ? And how can you fix it without my information ? I am sorry not to understand, but all your information is "no further information".
no further information means that you did not provide the information I asked for since November 7th. See comment #1
same as before - can change position, but does not save.
I'm sorry but this information doesn't help. If you don't mind follow the workflow I give you now: 1) run sax from runlevel 3 as root with the following option: sax2 -r 2) now setup your system as you did before, change configuration -> resolution, colors, etc... 3) now test the configuration and adapt the picture on the screen according to your needs. 4) save the configuration but do NOT exit sax 5) switch to a textconsole Ctrl-Alt-F1 6) login and save the contents of the directory: /var/cache/xfine/ 7) switch back to the SaX X-Server with Ctrl-Alt-F7 and save the configuration WITHOUT testing. 8) provide the newly written configuration file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Thanks
with sax2 started from runlevel 3, the display is too far on the LEFT. I now adjusted it to the middle of the screen, and could save, but now, the monitor's message "doing auto sync" appears again in the middle of the monitor. That was what I wanted to get rid of in the first place.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately you forgot to provide the newly written config file as asked for in step 8) of my last comment. Could you provide that file as well ? Thanks I also don't understand what you told me with "I now adjusted it to the middle of the screen, and could save, but now, the monitor's message "doing auto sync" appears again in the middle of the monitor." what does that mean ? The monitors on screen menu cannot be influenced by the operating system ??
Hmm, this works as it should: you called sax2 changed the position and the new mode was saved in xorg.conf. Referring to the information you gave me: xfine: 0\:1280x1024 0:1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1068: 1280 1352 1488 1712 1024 1025 1028 1068:134.72 the new config: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1280x1024" 134.72 1280 1352 1488 1712 1024 1025 1028 1068 ... EndSection So there is no bug your mode changes has been saved and if you start the server with that config your changes from the LEFT to middle should be viewable
I'm sorry for comment #10 I didn't see your first attachment so I was able to check what happened and report in comment #11. Well but I still don't understand what you mean with the monitors message "doing auto sync"
The reason why I started configuring the screen position was that in a default installation, my monitor gives a very hindering information in its middle. This is a white box with the info "doing auto sync. Please wait." When starting with yast2 and changing the screen position, this change is not saved, so I do not regard this bug as solved.
If you change the monitors picture using the keys on the monitor itself this information is never known to the operating system. The installation is done in a so called framebuffer mode. If you change the position using the monitor keys your monitor will or will not save the changes made to this mode. In the installed system an accelerated driver is used an in almost all cases the mode the driver will choose has a different timing and your monitor will not remember the old mode. This is something depending on your monitor not the OS. I'm sorry
