Re: kernel headers by default revisit...
This is what Linux thinks (incorrectly) about what the nVidia on the W520 can do: xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 345mm x 194mm 1600x900 60.0*+ 50.0 1440x900 59.9 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x60060.3 56.2 640x48059.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I wonder if this could be the answer to why I get such low resolution out of my linux kernel on my W520, but get the full possible resolution (2560x1600) in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine I run on the same platform? Do you have to use nVidia's own drivers to get the full res? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I'm not an ubuntu developer, but here's how I see this: On 07/16/2012 10:04 AM, Daniel J Blueman wrote: IMHO, the installation and updating of linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-3.2.0-26, linux-headers-3.2.0-26-generic is unneeded for ~98% of Ubuntu desktop users. So, 98% are not using nvidia or ati proprietary drivers? Damn, I must have a really bad hand when I comes to picking hardware... Provided the dependencies are correct, it'll be pulled in by eg dkms, libc-dev etc when expected. IMHO, there is not one "correct" here. I'd absolutely hate if packages started hardcoding dependencies on linux-headers-generic. They may need some linux-headers, but why should that be the ones from generic kernel? I'd have to carry a generic headers package whenever I use dkms.

kernel headers by default revisit...
IMHO, the installation and updating of linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-3.2.0-26, linux-headers-3.2.0-26-generic is unneeded for ~98% of Ubuntu desktop users. Provided the dependencies are correct, it'll be pulled in by eg dkms, libc-dev etc when expected. So, what is the current justification for installing these packages per default? -- Daniel J Blueman -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
