I have a working and acceptable full-res X running, including all the eye candy like rotating box,, fading windows etc etc etc.
but, but but ...
The logs tell me things like
<quote> [145070.025] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section </quote>
Well of course it doesn't! My monitor is a Flatron and I have the definition:
<quote>
Section "Monitor" Identifier "LG1" Vendorname "LG" Modelname "LG 1953 S" </quote>
and of course that ties in with "Screen' definition etc.
Oh, and it complains
<quote> [145070.025] (II) intel(0): Output VIRTUAL1 has no monitor section </quote>
Where did that come from?
Quite some months back I went looking for docs on why VIRTUAL1 exists and how to make use of it, but never found anything useful.
Are these hard wired into the intel driver or something? I make no mention of VGA or VIRTUAL in my xorg.conf.d
I think outputs showing up in Xorg.0.log actually depend on BIOS implementation and settings. You can see in http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-big41-os132-intel1280x1024 I have even more "outputs" than you mentioned, but what I think is going on is that we're seeing all the outputs that the gfxchip *could* support if each of the possibles were physically implemented on the motherboard, plus VIRTUAL1. To generate that log just a bit ago I originally had a Radeon installed in the PCIe slot and used the BIOS to force use of the onboard Intel. In that configuration, the only output in Xorg.0.log http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-big41-os132rc-intel1280x1024 was VGA1. To get the log containing multiple outputs I had to restore the BIOS to default setting and remove the Radeon.
The EDID seems to be working OK.
If you're vexed by X not playing nice (on your GX755?), and simply want your display's native resolution (1280x1024?), the following should be all you need in your xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Default Device" Monitor "Default Monitor" EndSection Identifiers can be any foo you want, but they must be consistent within the config file. If you've not already seen them, you might want to look at http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=901506 and the upstream bug. Common displays shouldn't need any xorg.conf* at all to work correctly from EDID, but until the fixed Intel driver shows up, I've been doing my manual Intel config via xrandr in a startup script. If that minimalist xorg.conf fails to work for you, and you're using KDE, you might be fighting against KScreen. Try in kdedrc adding: [Module-kscreen] autoload=false Kscreen at least used to when new ignore manual X configs and do whatever it pleased. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
