SaX2 distinguishes between traditional Xinerama mode with two screen sections and big screen mode named "MergedFB". So your xorg.conf is definitely used. :-) You can specify the monitor dimensions with Option "DisplaySize" in the Monitor Section (see man xorg.conf). I think this is also possible via SaX2. Let me know if this helps. -- 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.

For me it seems the driver doesn't care at all about setting the DPI value correctly for a MergedFB configuration. It handles it as it was one monitor, which is a stupid assumption. As a strange workaround it should be possible to use DisplaySize 190 300 Let me know if this helps. -- 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.

Btw.: it would be better to prefer the user supplied infos (in xorg.conf) >ahead of other sources. Commandline switches should have highest priority, I >think, then config files, and lastly other sources like built in defaults. I fully agree. It seems one cannot disable monitor detection of this driver, so you're somewhat lost. Does it help to to specify it on the Xserver commandline at least?

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293859#c9 --- Comment #9 from Thomas Mack 2007-07-24 02:17:59 MST --- Yes, it helped. Looked with xdpyinfo instead. Just have to find out now how to set this for kdm, as kdm does not seem to care about the settings in /etc/X11/xdm for some magic reasons. Will the bug with mga be fixed? -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293859#c11 --- Comment #11 from Thomas Mack 2007-07-24 02:44:49 MST --- Yes, I did, but kdm doesn't care. xdm does. Even writing this option to ServerArgsLocal in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc does not help, even though the documentation states, it is the proper place to add options to the X server. So maybe it does not work, as kdm uses Xorg as the X-server (/usr/bin/Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/lib/...), and not /usr/bin/X, which is used by xdm. I will check out, if /usr/bin/X will work better under kdm. -- 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.

If it doesn't work, there is a bug (a different one than this one though). What you try as work around though is changing the ServerCmd - both should be in X-:*-Core and be commented out by default. -- 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.
