https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331609 Summary: Bad DPI with Intel driver is uncorrectable via xorg.conf Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@ij.net QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=33935 is the same basic problem. When Display DDC and/or EDID are missing or broken, there's no way I can find to get KDM/KDE to start with a correct DPI except by the accident of physical display DPI and screen resolution computing to 96. Once X is started, xrandr can be used to set a good DPI, but this is of no use in KDM, Kicker and other autostarted apps. Appending '-dpi ' to ServerArgsLocal in kdmrc fails. Appending '-dpi 'to the command line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers also fails. DisplaySize in xorg.conf is apparently ignored. Other xorg.conf options: Option "UseEDID" "false" Option "IgnoreEDID" Option "DDC" "false" Option "NoDDC" all fail to help. This Intel driver craziness is particularly annoying, as on my other 10.3 & Factory boxes, not running Intel video, everything just works as always, DisplaySize in particular. -- 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.

...

These new RANDR 1.2 drivers are *very* special. Try xrandr --dpi <dpi>/<output> on the running Xserver.

Is there something I'm not understanding about the "/<output>" part of what you wrote? Is that different from "...xrandr can be used to set a good DPI..." from comment 0? It was late and I was tired and frustrated by failed workaround attempts and rereading bug 257746 and the many other other Intel video bugs by the time I was writing this bug last night. Maybe I failed to clearly spell out impact of 'xrandr --dpi <dpi>', though indirectly it seems I did via http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=33935#c35. It may show up in attachment 176641, as I ran 'xrandr -dpi 144' just before closing that X session. As implied in comment 0, I can run 'xrandr -dpi <dpi>' after X starts, e.g. in Konsole, but it doesn't survive closing the session and so post-session start it is apparently useless for Kicker and autostarted apps from saved sessions. How can it be run before KDM/KDE starts so that they are affected by the result of it too? To rephrase this bug's summary as if it were an enhancement request, can X startup be made to automatically call 'xrandr --fbmm' using DisplaySize dimensions or 'xrandr -dpi' from something like 'Option "DPI" ""' from xorg.conf, preferably by being configured to do so from some (missing?) component in KControl? Alternatively, can krandrtray have added some way to fix DPI that sticks from session to session? -- 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.

...

My understanding was that you're talking about the Xserver -dpi option and not the xrandr --dpi option.

That commentary was just about what didn't work to try to solve this Intel-only DPI problem.

...

Resolution/DPI chosing in RANDR 1.2 is just so broken. :-(

The i810 driver still obeys DisplaySize to produce correct DPI. Why does sax2 prefer the broken intel/randr driver set over i810 for the final 10.3 release? With so many bugs they seem too far from ready to live as a default in a public release.

...

So does using xrandr for setting DPI help?

As stated in comment 9, only partially: 1-Does not work for Kicker and other autostarted apps 2-Works for apps started after running it

...

I suggest to open an enhancement request for krandrtray to set also the DPI.

That shouldn't be necessary except as workaround for current brokenness. i810 seems a better user workaround until intel/randr work right. Proper DPI should be at least semi-automatic, not something users need to routinely choose off some toolbar that doesn't help for apps already running anyway. xorg.conf is supposed to be the mother config file that controls how X starts. If xrandr is the only way to do something that needs doing on X startup on Intel, then something in xorg.conf should at least trigger it even if some other config file must be used for xrandr to know what to do. -- 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.

Why does sax2 prefer the broken intel/randr driver set over i810 for the >final 10.3 release? With so many bugs they seem too far from ready to live as >a default in a public release. You would have expected the old VESA BIOS based i810 driver to support resolutions like 2048x1536? i810 was very limited in its functionality and suffered from different bugs. I'm not satisfied by the quality of the intel driver either. Even Intel is not. If we would have chosen i810 by default others would have complained, why we don't use intel as default ...

I think the wrong DPI setting is just a result of the wrong mode being selected by default. It should be set correctly when you use Option "PreferredMode" "2048x1536" in your monitor section.

Just now I got 2048x1536x16 on Mandriva Cooker with i810 on 845G. I read somewhere very recently, probably in one of the many Mandriva or OpenSUSE Intel driver bugs, that when EDID and DDC aren't working correctly that the Intel driver is hard coded to fall back to 96 DPI regardless of screen size or display resolution or any existing DisplaySize in xorg.conf. PreferredMode has no direct impact whatsover on DPI that I can find for such cases. AFAICT, it's only used by the driver to choose the resolution, and only from that it calculates bogus display dimensions so that it can force DPI to 96. The only apparent solution for this bad driver DPI assumption is using xrandr. AFAICT for randr to be a full solution, it has to do its DPI setting job before KDM (if used) starts, or before the X desktop (if no login manager is used) starts. So, the problem here for until the Intel driver is competent to handle non-working EDID and DDC is how to get randr to set an appropriate DPI before KDM or Kicker startup. Is there already a way that we simply haven't found yet? According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12474#c5 putting xrandr --fbmm in Xsession should work. Not knowing how to decide any better place, I tried putting it at the top of the file, but it didn't change anything for me. Can you tell me a better place that should work? Maybe this just has to wait for a fix for that bug? I too read the quote from Intel about how bad its driver currently is. :-( -- 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 you are comparing the behaviour of i815 and i845? AFAIK for 810/815 the intel driver still uses the VESA BIOS for modesetting so it just behaves like the old i810 driver. This is different for 830 and higher.

You're probably right. I trashed my Knoppix on 845G in order to install Gutsy below hda16. NAICT, its behavior is identically broken as 10.3. -- 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.

Preliminary indication is that it rounds a little differently than other drivers. Use of my table of display dimensions at http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/share/DisplaySize results in in an xdpyinfo report of off by +1 for horizontal. Those numbers always worked before with all drivers tested. e.g. old value new value 1600x1200@120 337 253(121x120) 338 253(120x120) 1600x1200@144 281 211(145x144) 282 211(144x144) -- 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.
