Resolution 1360x768 not selected
Hi, I need assistance in finding out just why on earth xorg decides not to use 1360x768 despite the monitor returning this in the DDC and having it in the Modes/PreferredMode option.

Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.ca/1329034 xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1329035 I sort of solved this, but not quite happy with how it's done. Quoting xorg.conf(5): Specifying video modes is optional because the server will use the DDC or other information provided by the monitor to automatically configure the list of modes available. Further, When modes are specified explicitly in the Monitor section (with the Modes, ModeLine, or UseModes keywords), built-in modes with the same names are not included. So according to this, removing the explicit ModeLines should give priority to the DDC-provided modes. But - the PreferredMode or Subsection Display Modes list will _NOT_ make use of these DDC modes, leaving me to having to explicitly specify the ModeLine for 1360x768 (at least that dose work). That is _bad_. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.ca/1329034 xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1329035 Finding out the meaning of the (EE) lines should tell. I see several, but don't know their significance. If it was me, I'd try changing PreferredMode to 1280x768, since that's what a quick Google turned up as the native mode. If it doesn't work that way, I'd try adding 'Option NoDDC' to 'Section Device' and try again. Next I'd try rerunning sax2, and select a generic LCD 1440x900 and see what happens, since most wide 19 (closest to probed dimensions in Xorg.0.log) displays are natively 1440x900, 1360x768 doesn't compute directly to either of the common 16:10 or 16:9 modes, and if still no go try selecting 1440x900 or 1280x768 In SaX2. If still no go, I'd goto DKT web site to see if any assistance might be available. Looking at the probed DDC and the stats I found with Google, I have to think the stats or EDID and/or probed DDC is broken. What is it, 26? 19? Is it new? If it is, I'd take it back and get something that uses a standard 16:9 or 16:10 native mode. cf. http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/displays.xhtml http://www.hdtvreview.com/Decktron-DL26-B00P-hdtv.html -- Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up.

As I found out [ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-February/043598.html ] it did not use 1360x768 because it seems that the Modes option in the Display subsection completely ignores DDC-obtained modelines. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
