--- Comment #26 from Egbert Eich
Ah, OK. so what do you get, when you run a bare server? Does the laptop panel light up?
Ok so when I run 'X' the laptop panel lights up, with the DVI connected or disconnected. This behaviour is different from when i run 'startx'. One thing to note though is that when the DVI *is* connected the laptop gets a non native resolution of 1920x1200Scaled that looks blurry.
Yes, that's the scaled mode. This way you get the same view on the laptop as on the external screen. At least I know now that the laptop panel lights up when there is no application trying to control it. We now have to figure out why your monitor doesnt light up with the mode it advertises itself. The problem that both heads are dark seems to be induced by some desktop helper that tries to improve your user experience but helps only to turn everything dark.
Because in the previous log files there definitely is indication that something turned off your panel as is visible from the snippet of log file I put into comment #19.
The Xorg log in comment #21 was produced by running "X -logverbose". The Xorg log in comment #14 was produced by running "startx -- -logverbose 7". This is starting to sound like a gnome desktop thing then? Something is calling that xrandr command to turn off my PANEL.
Yes, definitely. Life was definitely easier before such thingies started to appear. At least I know that I have to tell people to run a 'bare' Xserver when they claim some heads are not lighting up. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
