https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440512 Summary: external display, intel 945, 64bit Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alin.elena@yahoo.co.uk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Community User I try to connect an external display (1440x900) to a laptop (dell inspiron 640m) with intel 945 GME, intel driver and opensuse 11 64 bit. Up to know I used as a workaround the i810 driver + profiles. (two different xorg.conf files). Now I decided to try the intel driver. So I launch Sax2 I configure the display for the right resolution I test it, save it and reboot. Of course the things do not work by itself decides that 1024x768 is better for him. If I manually set the resolution wit xrandr things seem to be perfect The xserver is started by kdm4 there is also an annoying side effect. The display flickers too. Found a kind of solution in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager look for ## Type: string ## Default: "1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync" # # Mode to use for laptops for DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_* on laptops only, # when the according variable is set to "auto". # (RANDR 1.2 compatible drivers only). # and set DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="" This seems to cure both the strange resolution + the flicker -- 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.
