Then, after login, if I do Init 5 the X window correctly start at the same resolution. Instead, if I start Linux in text mode, without any VGA option, and then after login I do Init 5, the X window uncorrectly start at 1280x1024@62, and the screen tends to flicker. My computer is an HP equipped with an NVidia GeForce G210. I've attached the dmesg logs and the X logs written in /var/log folder. dmesg_1.log and Xorg.0_1.log refers to the wrong case, while dmesg_2.log and Xorg.0_2.log to the correct case(with vga=0x31B). Best Regards Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Correct start 1.select text mode from F3 menu at boot 2.insert vga=0x31B at the boot line 3.run Enter 4.after login,do Init 5 Wrong start 1.select text mode from F3 menu at boot 2.run Enter 4.after login,do Init 5 Actual Results: In the correct case, the Hor and Vert freqs of the monitor are those indicated by EDID, in the wrong case the freqs are different and the screen tends to flicker Expected Results: The beahviour should be the same in the two case, i.e. the X System should start correctly also from a purely text console -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
