Re: Xorg initial resolution broken
In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Randy Pratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes I'm having the same default resolution (1280x1024) problem using the updated xf86-video-mga-1.9.100 driver and additionally am unable to switch modes using the ctrl-alt-keypad +/- keys (Option "Dont Zoom" _is_ disabled). I reverted to the xf86-video-mga-1.4.7 driver and the desktop is my normal 1024x768 resolution and the mode switch keys work. Alas, as my eyes age, the higher resolutions are unreadable. Are you perhaps using the xf86-video-mga driver? If so, reverting to the older version may be another temporary workaround. Indeed, yes - xf86-video-mga-1.9.100 is the port upgrade the broke it. The trouble with portupgrade -a is I don't always know what's changed ;) Cheers, -- Mark A. R.

Setting PreferredMode caused the X server to lockup during start-up before switching out of text mode and requiring kill -9, until I removed my HorizSync and VertRefresh lines. Tried with X -configure afresh and achieved the same effect. With DDC and without HorizSync and VertRefresh lines PreferredMode is working but I'm having to use a lower refresh and I've lost the highest resolution my monitor displays. So for me the choice seems to be: - stick with my old config and sort out resolution when I log in - accept lower refresh (75Hz) and lower max resolution (rarely used it anyway), and use PreferredMode Cheers, -- Mark A.

Xorg initial resolution broken
Just restarted X after various Xorg updates. Now the server seems to be completely ignoring the "Modes" line in the config file's Screen/Display section and picking its own initial resolution. No problem switching to the desired resolution later on when logged in. Config and log files here: http://www.knigma.org.uk/scratch/resolution.txt This configuration has worked for years so I'm sure it's down to the Xorg update. Any ideas please? Cheers, -- Mark A. R.
