[Bug 44562] Re: [nvidia] Switch user causes screen resolution to change
I'm currently seeing this, in ubuntu 11.04, with latest updates. Symptoms for my setup are: * Works fine for single display. * Switching user, I get a new display that LOOKS like 640x480; not sure of the exact res. * The X server doesn't seem to be AWARE of the new hardware res, as the login window is only partially on-screen, and things looks stretched on my 1920x1080 monitor (as if it's not aware of the 4:3 aspect either). * Switching to another user/display and back to the new one fixes it, apparantly by ACTUALLY setting the resolution that the x server THOUGHT it already had. ** Attachment added: "xorg_switch_user_corruption.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/44562/+attachment/2189036/+files/xorg_switch_user_corruption.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44562 Title: [nvidia] Switch user causes screen resolution to change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/44562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem is an issue for me on Intrepid. I am running: * amd64 * fglrx 8.57.2 (date Jan 14 2009) * ati 9800 running at 1920x1...@60hz * kernel 2.6.27-14-generic When this issue occurs I see /var/log/Xorg.0.log * (II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX client after VT switch * (EE) fglrx(0): Cannot get requested mode 0 x 0 @ 0.00 * (EE) fglrx(0): Falling back to last mode in modelist 320 x 200 @ 60.00 This suggests that the wrong mode is being passed during user switch. I'm not yet sure where the issue lies.

[Bug 44562] Re: [nvidia] Switch user causes screen resolution to change
I have the same problem as Jeff, also on a Nvidia Ti4xxx card (as reported by more people here) ... coincidence? nvidia-settings runs fine. system boots, resolution is as is set (1680x1050). Login, resolution remains at 1680x1050. But after user- switching resolution drops to 640x480, though the desktop renderer still thinks its rendering at 1680x1050, because I can see only the top-left part of the login-screen. - Turning off compiz does not seem to help the problem. - No errors added to .xsession.errors on trying to switch - Nothing added to dmesg on trying to switch - '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' adds '(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select+0+0"' So I tried changing the line Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1680x1050_60 +0+0" in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' to Option "metamodes" "1680x1050_60 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0" But, allas, to no avail. This results in the login screen *always* dropping to 640x480 (even on restarting gdm). -- [nvidia] Switch user causes screen resolution to change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44562 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 44562] Re: [nvidia] Switch user causes screen resolution to change
Bryce, You have made a mockery of this bug reporting system by first trying to close this bug without resolution (only an assumption of resolution) and now determining which package the bug should go against without proper triage or problem determination. In any case it probably does not matter as this issue either does not effect that large of a population and/or does not warrant attention from the Ubuntu community. Unfortunately this issue was a deal breaker for me and I have had to move on away from Hardy. If in the future you need my assistance to work on this bug, please let me know. I am sure I can reproduce it on my system(s) again. - Jeff -- [nvidia] Switch user causes screen resolution to change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44562 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
