[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 601370] Re: unable to change scaling mode (thinkpad t410, lucid, intel arrandale graphics)
This is almost certainly https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18033 This has been fixed upstream in kernel 2.6.35-rc4. From the changelog: commit dd1ea37d9257bdf118693235dc74003901c55204 Author: Jesse Barnes Date: Thu Jun 24 11:05:10 2010 -0700 drm/i915: change default panel fitting mode to preserve aspect ratio We did this a long time ago in the DDX driver, but now this fix belongs in the kernel. Preserving the aspect ratio is a nicer default. Fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18033.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 601370] Re: unable to change scaling mode (thinkpad t410, lucid, intel arrandale graphics)
Hi madbiologist, I'm not sure if it's exactly the same bug. I'm finding that not only is the default inconvenient, but I can't dynamically change it. (xrandr accepts the command to change the scaling mode, but the display will remain unchanged.) Nonetheless, if the patch works, it would resolve the more important half of the problem. If no one else beats me to it, I'll give it a try this weekend.

Because the current version of my xserver-xorg-video-intel package was from the x-swat repository, I downgraded to the Lucid version. $ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-intel: Installed: 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5 Candidate: 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5 Version table: *** 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Unfortunately, the problem still occurs. -- unable to change scaling mode (thinkpad t410, lucid, intel arrandale graphics) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
