--- Comment #70 from Matthias Hopf
1. gdmwm.c obtains the list of Xinerama monitors. There are overlapping monitors because we "clone" the display. However, the buggy Intel driver says that monitor 0 is a connected VGA output, while there is in fact nothing connected.
Actually, it doesn't, the VGA output is *driven*, but not connected. There's a difference, the VGA output drivers pump out the signal, but the driver correctly assumes that there's nothing connected. OTOH I don't know your setup, so it might be that the driver wrongly identified some connection. The VGA port is pretty stable regarding load detection, though, and I haven't seen wrong connection detections so far. 2nd, we probably won't set DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_* to "auto" any longer in future products, this just made too many problems. We'd rather like to see both krandrtray and resapplet be able to switch on/off outputs dynamically, and if it is by calling 'xrandr --auto' when selecting a 'Redetect Outputs' menu entry or similar. Currently RandR automatically does something similar (at least on Intel) when the current configuration is asked for, so at least with krandrtray just selecting the same resolution again sort-of works. -- 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.
