release: ubuntu 9.10 package: gnome-control-center 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 related information: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) xserver-xorg: 1:7.4+3ubuntu7 xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 libxrandr2: 2:1.3.0-2 How to reproduce the bug: start your computer (laptop) without any external display plugged in. Let your Gnome session starts. plug the VGA cable in. launch gnome-display-properties. What's happening: X crashes (freeze). relevant Xorg.0.log entries: (at the end of the file) "" (II) intel(0): Allocate new frame buffer 2704x1050 stride 4096 "" What strikes me is that the intel driver is told to allocate a 2704*1050 FB whereas specs available at http://www.intel.com/design/mobile/specupdt/309220.htm page 375 state that maximum resolution is 2048x1536. What's expected: Well, the gnome-display-properties window is expected. More information: -Starting X with the external display already plugged in works, ie: I can launch gnome-display-properties. -if you reproduce the bug process and change the call to gnome-display-properties by a call to xrandr, same bug occurs ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Oct 23 20:22:07 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties Package: gnome-control-center 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: gnome-control-center Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- gnome-display-properties/xrandr crashes X server when loading after pluging an external display https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/459322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server 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
