Re: [opensuse] incorrect xorg setup in openSUSE 12.1

did you install the packages with the ATI driver?
Which driver do you mean? I have this one: ~> rpm -qa|grep -i radeon xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_20100512_80ba041-5.1.2.i586 As I know correctly Radeon 7000 aka Radeon-VE is a legacy card. Xorg/linux/SuSE/openSUSE has the radeon driver for this card for ages. 2012. október 10. 20:16 napon Felix Miata <mrmazda@earthlink.net> írta:
Obiously openSUSE 12.1 can not automatically configure X correctly, while in 11.2 the correct configuration could be done easily.
You might have a cable or radeon 7000 connector problem interfering. Or maybe your display's preferred mode and available modes are out of sync with your understanding or wishes. Is it a CRT?
I haven't emphasized but oS 11.2 and 12.1 installations are on the same computer on two different partitions. If it were cable problem, it should affect 11.2 as well. 11.2 works correctly, only 12.1 has this problem. My monitor is (from the xorg.conf file generated by 11.2 sax): Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 408 306 HorizSync 29-83 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "BELINEA 2080S1" Option "DPMS" Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200" VendorName "MAX" VertRefresh 43-85 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection It's an LCD monitor.
Next I copied the xorg.conf file from 11.2 to 12.1 but this did not make any change on resolution, it is still 1280x960. Now I am stucked, what should be the next step to correct this?
1-Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2-match the content of the following files: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf
to:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-device.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-monitor.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-screen.conf
I copied the above files to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Restarted X (init3, init5). It did not make any change. Then I uncommented #Driver "radeon" #Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Default Monitor" lines in 50-device.conf, but it did not make any difference either. What is annoying that the setup worked out-of-box in openSUSE 11.2, while nor autoconfiguration neither the xorg.conf file copied from working 11.2 works in 12.1. Might it be that radeon driver is not loaded? lsmod |grep -i radeon gives nothing. (But is gives nothing in 11.2 too.) ??

$ cat /pub/Tmp/out openSUSE 12.1 (i586) VERSION = 12.1 CODENAME = Asparagus $ lspci | grep VGA 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] $ lsmod | sort | grep radeon drm 208787 3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper drm_kms_helper 36953 1 radeon i2c_algo_bit 13199 1 radeon radeon 1019304 1 ttm 73418 1 radeon Maybe there's something different between 7000 & 7500 that makes a difference? What is output of 'head -n8 /var/log/Xorg.0.log'? What is output of 'grep Chipset /var/log/Xorg.0.log'?
