[Bug 214929] New: Inconsistencies with X.org configuration
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214929 Summary: Inconsistencies with X.org configuration Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: rplewe@novell.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com During installation, my system was correctly identified with a resolution of 1400x1050 (see xorg.conf.orig) so I didn't change any default. After installation, however, I was presented with a 1024x768 resolution. Rebooting didn't help. I started sax2, generated a new configuration (having renamed the old one), saw the proposal of 1400x1050, and accepted the default (after testing it, see xorg.conf.sax2). After restarting X (init 2, init 5) I still had 1024x768. I manually edited the xorg.conf file to delete all entries not 1400x1050 (xorg.conf), and still got 1024x768 upon restart. After some time, I did another X restart, and the resolution was 1400x1050. I may have not done the X restart properly on all occasions (afterwards, you're never 100% sure, but the shell history suggests I did it properly). But in any case: During installation a resolution is detected, that is not realized after installation. And sax2 seems to have configured and successfully tested a resolution that was not visible after an X restart. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

BTW, xorg.conf.orig cannot be the xorg.conf used during installation, because a generic config file is used during this time using fbdev and not radeon. Which scenarios are decsribed by Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log.old Xorg.1.log These match which config files? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The file where only 1400x1050 is specified is the one I manually edited to >only contain 1400x1050 (reasoning that if nothing else was specified it would >force the system to use it. Which it didn't). Right, this doesn't help since 1400x1050 was the first resolution also before.
xorg.conf.orig was the file generated during installation, not used during it. It is the version that existed after installation as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Ok. I understand.
I have no idea which scenarios are described by the log files, as I don't know how the log files are organized/rotated. I included them as per the instructions on opensuse.org. The order in which I tried to start X is described in comment #1, with the possibility to have more than one attempt for a given configuration. Ok. Then you need to copy the different config files to xorg.conf, start the Xserver again and attach the according logfiles again. Please use for them the suffix of the config files, e.g. Xorg.0.log.xorg.conf.orig, etc. Thanks.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214929 ------- Comment #12 from rplewe@novell.com 2006-10-27 09:59 MST ------- I am very, very perplexed. All three xorg.conf files now result in 1400x1050 (I have the sorted log/config files, in case you want a look at them). So in effect it must have been impossible to get 1024x768. But the lower resolution _was_ there, and it wouldn't go away despite several attempts to change it. I will leave it as NEEDINFO, and attempt to reproduce it through a new installation on monday. If it does not reproduce, I will close it as WRONGMOONPHASE or something. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

New installation, same source and method as the first time, and it's not reproducable.
