I have an old Compaq V5000 laptop, updated to SL6.8 and with KDE, which
has normally done what I have asked of it. Over the past few weeks its
internal display has been unusable although an external VGA monitor
works fine with System Settings at 'Unify outputs'. The problem exists
from power-up; a raster is displayed, and colours change, but text and
windows are unrecognisable. When the problem first appeared it would
often go away on power cycling, but now it seems locked in.
xrandr output looks normal and the only hint I see in Xorg.0.log is:
(WW) intel(0): Output LVDS1: Strange aspect ratio (289/21), consider
adding a quirk
I haven't yet resorted to a screwdriver (or a quirk), and would welcome
suggestions.
Thanks
