Attached please find a tarball with the following content: sax2 |-- connected | |-- SaX.log | `-- xorg.conf |-- detached | |-- SaX.log | `-- xorg.conf |-- detached_modified | |-- SaX.log | `-- xorg.conf `-- hwinfo.out "hwinfo.out" is the output of "hwinfo". The files in the "connected" directory contain the log file and the resulting xorg.conf when the monitor was attached before starting the configuration. Consequently, the files in the "detached" directory contain the log file and configuration file from letting SaX2 configure the internal display only (which worked fine). I performed each test from the console in runlevel 3 (VESA framebuffer in the native 1400x1050 resolution). SaX2 was started with the "-r" option, I removed any previous xorg.conf file before. I started it and accepted the proposed configuration. When the monitor was connected during this procedure, the resulting resolution on the internal screen seems to be correct at 1400x1050 (the mouse cursor is clearly visible), however the screen is garbled and there are pixel artifacts at the bottom. I will attach photographs that explain what I mean. Also the widgets are displayed at the wrong location, so you have to click "blindly" to hit a button. With the monitor connected from the beginning I was unable to perform the configuration, as the screen was so messed up. I then repeated the test by having the monitor unplugged at first, waiting for SaX2 to come up with the (correct) proposal for the internal screen. I then connected the second monitor and proceeded to change the configuration. The settings for Display 1 (the internal one) were displayed correctly, so I proceeded so set up the second head by "Activate Dual Head" -> "Configure..." "Second Monitor -> Change", selected "Samsung Syncmaster 940BW" from the list and confirmed. I then changed the resolution to "1440x900 (WXGA)". Next I checked "Xinerama Multihead" and changed the arrangement to "[1] [2]". I then confirmed the settings and proceeded to testing the resolution. The new X Server comes up, but xfine states it is using "2560x960"!. The internal display's resolution seems to be correct, but the external resolution is set to 1280x960, causing the monitor to scale it. Also, the screen scrolls on both monitors. So even though I selected the appropriate resolutions before, the resulting configuration is unusable. At this point I aborted the configuration and saved the resulting file, which you can find in the "detached_modified" directory. -- 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.
