I am using KDE 4.1.3 packages. After using xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --mode 1680x1050 the desktop is again wider than the screen.

So press the autoadjust button of your monitor?

Well, I already did a few times but this does not resolve the issue. The issue is that the screen is supposed to be able to handel 1680x1050 output. But when I use this option the desktop is too large as if there were too many pixels for my screen to display. The desktop starts to the left way off my screen and ends all the way to the right of my screen. When I push the autoadjust button, all it does is to move the desktop around when it would actually have to "shrink" it.

1400x1050 is specified as maximum resolution instead of 1680x1050. Looks like you did this by intention.

Yes, I did. As I've written earlier I wanted to use my desktop and in order to do so I need to see it completely on my screen. So I had to use a lower resolution. So I told sax2 to set it to 1400x1050. -- 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.

Should have tried and reported that right away. Well, with mode 0x42 it only sort of works. The resolution is correct and the bug I'm reporting is gone. So far so good but the image seems to flicker a little bit like the pixels are moving left and right a tiny bit which I don't see in the 0x41 mode. I've changed it back and forth a few times between 0x41 and 0x42 and it's always the same. It's best visible when I read small fonts on a white background. But that might be another issue which I'm luckily not seeing in the 0x41 mode. -- 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.

Thank you for that. This time it did work for some reason... So I tried the different modes and cannot see any real difference between modes 1 + 2 and 3 + 4.* 1 + 2: Both modes seem to work. The resolution is set correct and it fits the screen perfectly. But there's this little flickering in both modes which is quite annoying. I don't seem to have this to this extent when using xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --mode 0x41. There, I would only see this flickering every once in a while and not the whole time. I'll add a small video for you to see what I mean. Interestingly enough, this flickering only occurs in the left and right thirds of the screen and cannot be seen in the middle part. The video understates how annoying this is because it only shows a small part of the screen. Imagine it on 2/3s of your whole screen. 3 + 4: Again the behaviour for which I opened the bug report. The desktop extents over both sides (left and right) of my screen. I also see the flickering. * modes 1-4 mean the following options: 1: Modeline "FooBar" 146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 +HSync -VSync 2: ModeLine "FooBar" 146.0 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -HSync +VSync 3: ModeLine "FooBar" 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +HSync -VSync 4: ModeLine "FooBar" 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 -HSync +VSync -- 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.
