This image better matches the Icewm image than the Intel/KDE4 attachment 560672 image, but even with neither vga= nor video=, the same xserver version 1.14.3, and intel driver 2.99.902, Mageia gets stuck in EDID preferred, disregarding PreferredMode anyway. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All my 13.1 systems are being reverted to 2.99.902 without the fix, except those with X11:XOrg repo enabled, which are running 2.99.904. With 2.99.902, X uses the video= mode specified on cmdline instead of PreferredMode in xorg.conf*, and xrandr won't even announce the mode that's active. Reinstalling 2.99.904 from X11:XOrg restores expected behavior. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Right, 11 days ago, 2.99.904. So why is 2.99.902 still the only version on the mirrors anywhere in the 13.1 oss/non-oss/update repos?
