Bugzilla – Bug 132687
display configured 1280x1024 in sax2 but starts as 800x600
Last modified: 2005-11-08 16:43:05 UTC
Installation has been performed in 1280x1024, so monitor and graphics adapter support it, but at first user login in Xwindow, it displays 800x600 whith a virtual display of 1280x1024. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log there is something about CRT1 and CRT2 but there is only one vga connector present hardware is IBM e-server xSeries 336 with ATI Radeon VE monitor is IBM 6331

really strange the driver is using MergedFB but the configuration didn't told him to do that ?? Stefan, Matthias any idea why radeon told us: (II) RADEON(0): Generating MergedFB mode list (II) RADEON(0): No MetaModes given, linking first modes by default (II) RADEON(0): Merged 800x600 and 1280x1024 to 1280x1024 (Clone) Thanks
(II) RADEON(0): Validating modes on Primary head --------- (II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from Detailed timing table: 800x600 The driver thinks CRT1 can only do 800x600. Then it tries to establish a mergedfb configuration and gets 1280x1024 on CRT2, which simply does *not* exist. This looks like a broken driver behaviour to me. Anyway, comment the line UseModes "Modes[0]" for now and let us know, whether this helps (including new logfile).
Created attachment 56673 [details] new Xorg.0.log whith the line commented out, it works like a charm, now the display is in 1280x1024
Looks like the driver does not like the SaX2 generated modelines ... --- Xorg.0.log 2005-11-08 14:25:57.744186105 +0100 +++ Xorg.0.log.new 2005-11-08 14:24:06.959554993 +0100 (II) RADEON(0): Validating modes on Primary head --------- (II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from Detailed timing table: 800x600 -(II) RADEON(0): Total of 1 mode(s) found. -(II) RADEON(0): Total number of valid DDC mode(s) found: 1 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from standard timing table: 640x480 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from standard timing table: 800x600 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from standard timing table: 1024x768 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from standard timing table: 1280x1024 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from established timing table: 1024x768 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from established timing table: 1024x768 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from established timing table: 800x600 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from established timing table: 800x600 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from established timing table: 640x480 +(II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from established timing table: 640x480 +(II) RADEON(0): Total of 11 mode(s) found. +(II) RADEON(0): Total number of valid DDC mode(s) found: 11
AFAIK these issues have been fixed in X.Org CVS. Please reopen if you see these problems with 10.1 (Alpha) again.
