https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288701#c4 --- Comment #4 from Stephan Wefing 2007-07-02 16:43:32 MST --- Thanks, Marcus, for looking into this! I think that the monitor is definitely able to handle refresh rates above 75 Hz for 1280x1024 pixels. For this resolution, the manual quotes an upper limit for the refresh rate of 100 Hz. Hence, the conclusion seems to be that the mga driver is simply unable to make full use of the capabilities of the monitor. Is this correct? Can you give me a hint where I can look for further support? Matrox, x.org, ..?

01:00.0 Class 0300: 102b:2527 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: 102b:0f84

Using "NoDDC" would disable DDC on more or less *all* G550 cards. I don't think this is a good idea. Driving the monitor with more than 75 Hz is a corner case for me anyway. Therefore I close this one as WONTFIX. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288701#c12 --- Comment #12 from Stephan Wefing 2007-08-10 15:11:55 MST --- Just a final note for the record: The data transferred from the monitor to the computer via DDC seems to comprise not only the supported VESA modes but also the exact display dimensions. The original xorg.conf file (attachment 149023, see comment 1) contains the line "DisplaySize 387 290" in the monitor section. These dimensions are slightly wrong. The correct display dimensions as specified in the monitor manual, however, are 360x270 mm, Using DDC, the X server ignores the wrong dimensions provided by xorg.conf and uses the correct size resulting in a resolution of (90,96) dpi, see the log file provided by attachment 149024 in comment 2. However, upon using the NoDDC option the X server accepts the data provided by xorg.conf yielding a resolution of (84,89) dpi, see the log file provided by attachment 155638 in comment 7. For most applications this does not seem to make a noticeable difference. However, I found one applications that showed grossly distorted characters, see the attachment of the next comment. This is straightened out if the correct size is specified in xorg.conf, see the next but one comment. The wrong display size in the original xorg.conf file was generated by sax2. Officially, the Nokia 446Xpro monitor is a 19" monitor and this was correctly recognized by the database of sax2. The snag is that the actual diagonal measures only 17.7" as specified by the monitor manual. sax2, however, seems to calculate the display size using the nominal size of the diagonal and the correct aspect ratio of 4:3. Conclusion: Upon using the NoDDC option one has to check xorg.conf very carefully even if it was generated by the help of sax2. -- 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.
