Bugzilla – Bug 154732
Monitor no longer detected in 10.1
Last modified: 2006-03-09 03:06:38 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
If you don't mind provide the information from hwinfo --monitor from 10.1 of course Thanks
I would need the log of 'hwinfo --monitor --log=xxx', actually.

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?
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.

I am using an x86-64. I'll attach my logs when I get home from work.
Peter, please run getsysinfo and attach it.

Created attachment 71494 [details] 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.
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.
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.
So it works for you now ? Please file a new bug report if you get that problem again
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.

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.
