https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211303 Summary: Update to alpha5 leaves me with only 60Hz display Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: matz@novell.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com I updated to alpha5 from alpha4plus, and now the X server decides to not be able to set a sensible refresh rate anymore, i.e. I have now a 60Hz display (I'm using a CRT, so that's unbearable, ergo blocker). I'm using the Xen kernel, but I was also using that in alpha4plus. And I use DRI, like also with alpha4plus. I.e. I changed nothing, I just updated. I use a i915 video card. Anyway, the important snippets from the Xorg.0.log seem to be: [current one:] (II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs. .. (II) I810(0): Monitor[0]: Using hsync range of 30.00-121.00 kHz (II) I810(0): Monitor[0]: Using vrefresh range of 48.00-160.00 Hz .. (II) I810(0): Attempting to use 85.19Hz refresh for mode "1600x1200" (84b) .. (II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method. [that was the last line with "refresh" in it] A former Xorg.log showed this (though that was under the -default kernel still): (II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs. .. (II) I810(0): Monitor[0]: Using hsync range of 30.00-121.00 kHz (II) I810(0): Monitor[0]: Using vrefresh range of 48.00-160.00 Hz .. (II) I810(0): Attempting to use 85.19Hz refresh for mode "1600x1200" (84b) .. (II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method. (II) I810(0): Setting refresh with VBE 3 method. Note how the last line was added. So it seems the new xorg version does notice that it has to use VBE method 3, but then actually doesn't use it. xorg-x11-7.1-27 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
