Public bug reported: Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils
$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 $ apt-cache policy x11-xserver-utils x11-xserver-utils: Installed: 7.4+2ubuntu3 Candidate: 7.4+2ubuntu3 Version table: *** 7.4+2ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status My expectation is that xrandr will recognize the correct maximum 3200x1200 size on my Thinkpad T400 laptop and will allow me to set the size to 3200x1200. My maximum screen resolution is 3200x1200, and I used this resolution on a dual external monitor setup when docked. I use xrandr to set up my screen resolution when docked with the following script that, until this morning, has worked just fine: #! /bin/sh xrandr --output LCD --off && \ xrandr --fb 3200x1200 \ --output DFP1 --auto \ --output CRT1 --auto --right-of DFP1 Within the past three days of updates to karmic (somewhere between 10/9/9 and 10/12/9), the script above stopped working, and the root cause of this is that the maximum screen resolution as seen by xrandr is only 2048x2048 instead of the required 3200x1200. The following is what xrandr returns when I attempt to set this size: $ xrandr --fb 3200x1200 xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 2048x2048 (desired size 3200x1200) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 12 13:48:07 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 MachineType: LENOVO 2767A15 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: x11-xserver-utils 7.4+2ubuntu3 PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card ProcCmdLine: root=UUID=0db23939-f761-46f2-9285-220fb8cc6b9e ro acpi_osi="Linux" quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-13.44-generic RelatedPackageVersions: xserver-xorg 1:7.4+3ubuntu5 libgl1-mesa-glx 7.6.0-1ubuntu2 libdrm2 2.4.14-1ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.99+git20090825.fc74e119-0ubuntu3 SourcePackage: x11-xserver-utils Uname: Linux 2.6.31-13-generic x86_64 dmi.bios.date: 01/09/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 7UET56WW (2.02 ) dmi.board.name: 2767A15 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr7UET56WW(2.02):bd01/09/2009:svnLENOVO:pn2767A15:pvrThinkPadT400:rvnLENOVO:rn2767A15:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2767A15 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T400 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO system: distro: Ubuntu architecture: x86_64kernel: 2.6.31-13-generic ** Affects: x11-xserver-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug fglrx xrandr -- xrandr reports incorrect maximum screen size https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils 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
