Unfortunately the virtual resolution is still hard coded in the xorg config file, and cannot be changed without full X server restart. It would be really good, if virtual resolution could be changed on the fly too. -Technologov, 2.8.2008. -- 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 already considered to use Virtual x y for RANDR 1.2 capable drivers. Not sure yet, which value to chose for x and y. Proposal: Virtual 4480 1600 This one you need when attaching a 30" monitor (2560x1600) to a laptop with a resolution of 1920x1200. -- 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.

At least ColorTiling gets disabled. (II) RADEON(0): Color tiling enabled by default (WW) RADEON(0): Requested desktop size exceeds surface limts for tiling, ColorTiling disabled Option "ColorTiling" "boolean" Frame buffer can be addressed either in linear or tiled mode. Tiled mode can provide significant performance benefits with 3D applications, for 2D it shouldn't matter much. Tiling will be disabled if the virtual x resolution exceeds 2048 (3968 for R300 and above), [...] Possibly we can live with that or use 'Virtual 3840 1200' instead, which covers a 1920x1200 laptop panel + a 1920x1200 external display. Still no ColorTiling for Radeon < R300 though. -- 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.

At least on intel (945GM) you're running into all kind of problems with such a setting. DRI, Tiling, FramebufferCompression gets disabled. In some more detail:

(EE) intel(0): Cannot support DRI with frame buffer width > 2048.

Seems to be a limit on Intel series < 965. Need to verify this. -- 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.

GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is still 2048 on 965 (not sure if this a hardware or driver limitation), so at least compiz wouldn't work with Virtual x values > 2048. -- 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.

Should be possible to set this to 4096 instead. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034960.html I'll give the patch a try. -- 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.

As mentioned at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html I sometimes hotplug external monitors which have a higher resolution than my interal display (1280x800) for example 1680x1050. To be able to turn them on with xrandr you have to have a Virtual. Right now one has to use xrandr but as soon as krandr works more people will try to use external monitors ... -- 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.
