[Bug 264106] Re: xrandr reports only the highest resolution

2008-09-14 Thread Martin Emrich
The EDID failing monitor is the built-in display of the laptop (14.1" LCD, [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I would assume that the internal display does not support EDID/DDC at all, but the native resolution is read from the BIOS. On hardy, the driver just adds some VESA modes, which is no longer done on intr

Right, so it looks like there are two separate issues. First, your home monitor does not report its EDID. I don't think there's anything that can be done that. Maybe try IgnoreDDC. There's already a bug open for the EDID fail issue - https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+b

I'm at the university right now and connected an external 20" widescreen TFT (Dell 2005FPW) to the VGA port. On hardy, it reported all necessary resolutions, on intrepid this is all I get: VGA-0 connected 1152x864+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1360x768 59.8

IgnoreEDID did not work, still only 1400x1050 is reported. Actually, 2>&1 did strangely not put stderr into the file, thus I cut&pasted the error message; get-edid will probably only send valid data to stdout, which was not possible here. I just booted the hardy-i386-desktop Live-CD and collected

Ah, if you're not able to get EDID out of the monitor, automatic configuration ain't gonna work. Try setting Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It would be interesting if you could boot the hardy LiveCD and, assuming X comes up, snag the Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf from there. O
