Monitor could not be detected.

Okay, you say the monitor could not be detected. However, when I call Sax2, than the monitor is recognized as "ACI VW 246" (see sax2-main.png). Notice that ACI isn't the manufacture of my monitor, but it is ASUS. However, the model number is correct. About sax2-monitor-displaySize.png: diagonal, x-axis and y-axis seems to be correct. (The shop claimed that it is a 24"-display. The axises I've controlled with a ruler.) However, aspect ration seems to be wrong to me (1920:1080=1,7777..., right? So the aspect ration should also be 16:9=1,7777..., or am I wrong?) -- 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.

Monitor seems to be detected with the right resolution (1920x1080)
No. After "init 3" and "sax2", 1280x1024 is preselected (and also used by the X server that is started by sax2).
and as I can see in sax2-main.png this solution has been preselected by SaX2.
No. I've made this screenshot _after_ configuring xorg with "init 3" and "sax2" - however, during the configuration I had yet changed the resolution to the correct value. I've made this screenshot in runlevel 5 from a regular session (because I didn't know how to make a screenshot from sax2 in runlevel 3). I've made it only to show that sax2 recognized the monitor. (BTW: The monitor is also correctly recognized when running sax2 in runlevel 3!)
Where is the issue here?
So the issue is: Sax2 proposes 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080. -- 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.

So it seems SaX2 only preselects 1920x1080 when being started from runlevel 3?
No... My explication was confusing... So here is a try of a complete explication: - I had an old TFT monitor (1024x768) on my openSUSE 11.1 machine. - I have bought a new TFT monitor (1920x1080): ASUS VW 246 - I have shouted down opensuse. - I have disconnected the old monitor and connected the new monitor. - I have started opensuse. - When the X server started, it was staying at a low resolution. - I have switched to runlevel 3. - I have called sax2. - Sax2 in runlevel 3 did these things wrong: -- recognized monitor as "ACI VW 246" (expected: "ASUS VW 246") -- proposed resolution: 1280x1024 (expected: 1920x1080) - I have changed manually the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1920x1080 - I have made the tarball from the log files (see comment #1) - I have switched to runlevel 5. - The X server started correctly the KDE4 session at 1920x1080 - I have started sax2 from the running KDE4 session to take a look on further options... - At this time, I've made the screenshots (see comment #10 and comment #11) So the problem is: - When starting sax2 in runlevel 3, it proposes incorrectly 1280x1024 as resolution (expected: 1920x1080). [I _have_ tested this.] - I would imagine that this is a general problem, not only in runlevel 3 but for example also when making a new installation of openSUSE 11.1. [I did _not_ test this.] These things seem strange to me (maybe they have something to do with the bug?): - Sax2 recognizes the monitor as "ACI VW 246" (expected: "ASUS VW 246") - Sax2->Monitor settings->Change shows correct values for size of diagonal (24") and width an hight of the monitor (in mm), but the aspect ratio is selected with 16:10 (expected: 16:9). I hope this description has not confused you more, but has made the things clearer... -- 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.

Add the following entry to /usr/share/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors
#============================================== # ACI VW246 #---------------------------------------------- ACI:VW246 { DDC=ACI24F2 Hsync=30-83 Resolution=1920x1080 Vsync=56-76 }
but remove any existing entry with DDC=ACI24F2 in this file.
Then switch to runlevel 3 ("init 3") and rerun sax2. Does this help?
I'll do this next year... ;-) (I'm in holiday now and have here, from home, no access to the computer with this monitor. I'll try it out 01.01.2009 or 02.01.2009) -- 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.
