[Bug 338027] New: SaX2 does not change to the picked resolution
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338027 Summary: SaX2 does not change to the picked resolution Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: mlemos@acm.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=181342) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=181342) SaX.log file since the moment SaX2 is started from Yast2 to change the resolution till it exits I have just installed openSuSE 10.3 on a Acer Travelmate 6291 notebook. YasT2/SaX2 correctly guessed and setup the default video resolution 1280x800 . However, when I want to change the resolution to 1024x768 or 800x600 which are listed in the SaX2 dialog as available resolutions, it does not switch. I try testing the new resolution before saving the settings, and it still shows 1280x800 in the test screen. I tried saving with and without going through the test screen and it still does not work. I restarted X using rcxdm stop ; rcxdm start and it still starts in 1280x800. This is annoying because I need to make a presentation and the projector only supported 1024x768 0r 800x600 . The only way I could make the video switch to 1024x768 was using the Screen Rotate and Resize utility. Fortunately the projector was able to pickup the new resolution, but I past attempts to do the same with other projectors that would not work. I would need to reboot the machine, but in this case it is always starting with 1280x800. I am attaching /var/log/SaX.log, so you can check it out. -- 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.

Indeed it is the preferred way to switch the resolutions on-the-fly for such purposes. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --output VGA --mode 1024x768_60 should do the trick. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 257746 *** https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257746 -- 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.
