SAX2: Dual-Head Modus, ext. screen defined as LCD 1680x1050 or Samsung Syncmaster 225BW. Description: Using krandrtray, the ext. monitor can be run at max in 1400x1050 resolution. The monitor display that it is synchronized correctly at 1680x1050. The picture is zoomed horizontally (1400 --> 1680). This does not look very nice. When I select the offered 1680x1050 resolution, it switches to VGA or even less. Using my SXGA (1280x1024) at home makes no problems! The error occurred after I installed GoogleEarth 4.3.

Looks good.

(II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1680x1050"x0.0 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync (64.7 kHz) [...] (II) intel(0): Output VGA using initial mode 1680x1050 (II) intel(0): Output LVDS using initial mode 1280x800

Some monitors - especially Samsung - are rather picky what concerns polarities in modelines. So what you can try are slighly differente modelines.

Preparation:

xrandr --newmode 1680x1050-- 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 -hsync -vsync xrandr --newmode 1680x1050-+ 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 -hsync +vsync xrandr --newmode 1680x1050+- 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync xrandr --newmode 1680x1050++ 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA 1680x1050-- xrandr --addmode VGA 1680x1050-+ xrandr --addmode VGA 1680x1050+- xrandr --addmode VGA 1680x1050++

Testing:

xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050-- xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050-+ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050+- xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050++

If this doesn't help either, I'm out of ideas.

Thanks. It did help after some experiments.. I had to enter: xrandr --newmode 1680x1050mm 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 -Hsync -Vsync The argument 1680x1050-- was not accepted (error message); also -hsync hat to be -Hsync. The monitor synchronized with ...-- and ...-+. Conclusion: Even a brand name (Samsung) does not help... -- 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.

That's weird. I can't reproduce any problems using "1680x1050--" and "-hsync" in the modeline.

...

The monitor synchronized with ...-- and ...-+.

So the modeline you get via DDC (+-, see comment #3) doesn't work. Great!

Samsung is known for requiring monitor quirks in the Xserver. :-( -- 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.

I hope you can live with that workaround. Of course you can add this modeline also to your xorg.conf instead of running the xrandr commands again and again. -- 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.
