Bug#428556: still present

[Simon Josefsson]

found 428556 1:2.1.17-1
thanks

I tried the latest version, and it still happens.  I understand this is
a wontfix bug, but thought I'd keep version info updated.

Anyone know if there is any way to switch between CRT/LCD _without_
using the VBIOS hot-key?

Bug#428556: Pressing Fn-CRT/LCD garbles display

[Simon Josefsson]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:2.0.96-1

Hi!  I have had this problem with all releases of the driver that I've
tried since installing debian on this machine, but never gotten around
to report it.  I now installed the package in experimental to see if it
had been solved, but it wasn't.  Is there any point in testing the
version in unstable too?

I have a Dell Precision M65 laptop (see
) with a nVidia Quadro FX 350M.

When I press Fn-CRT/LCD it cycles through some modes. The modes seems to
be somewhat influenced on the state when I started the machine, e.g.,
with lid closed or open, connected to port repliactor or not.  In any
case, it is typically is some variation of:

1. Internal TFT
2. Black
3. External TFT via DVI

The video changing works but with a flaw:  after changing between video
modes, the screen is sort of shifted to the right so that only half of
the screen image is visible in the middle of the screen.  The left and
right sides of the screen is blank.  Two photos:

http://josefsson.org/bug/

As you can see, it happens both on the internal screen and on the
external DVI screen.

The work around is simple: just press ctrl-alt-f1 and then go back to
the virtual console with X.  The image looks fine and everything works.

Debug X log attached.

Any ideas how I can avoid the ctrl-alt-f1 step and have it work
correctly immediately?

TIA,
Simon

Bug#345700: Solved

[Simon Josefsson]

FYI, I just upgraded xserver-xorg-video-nv to 1:2.0.96-1 from
experimental, and I can confirm that the problem is gone.

Thanks!

I did install 1.2.2.1-1 from experimental some time ago, based on an
earlier request in the BTS, but that did not fix the problem.  Was this
one-liner added after that version?

Installing xserver-xorg-video-nv from unstable seem to pull in more
stuff than I'm willing to install on this machine right now.  I hope
others can test it, or I can install Debian on an external hard disk and
try it.

Bug#345700: Confirmed in etch rc2 too

[Simon Josefsson]

I can confirm that this still happens, with a nVidia Quadro FX 350M on a
Dell Precision M65.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device
01dc (rev a1)

The workaround isn't perfect for me, in larger gecko-based HTML forms
(e.g., in evolution mail composer) it leaves vertical bars when a line
that I'm writing wraps to the next line.
