Install of kernel 2.6.37-rc8-29.1/29.2-desktop results in monitor shifted right ~ 4cm, and "wrapped". Mouse and/or touchpad follows correctly when moved to the right, and will not move left into the shifted area. (Gnome and KDE "take screenshot" is presented with a correct display (1600 x 900, no apparent shift right). Shift occurs during boot, prior to X initialization.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2.6.37-rc8-desktop on Intel GMA HD (Arrndale/"Ironlake") 2. 3. Actual Results: Display is shifted right ~ 4cm, with obvious flicker/jitter at top of display, as previously noted in details above. Expected Results: No display shift right, wrapping around, and no flicker/jitter. Problem occurs during boot, prior to X initialization. Intel driver is correctly selected. Messages indicate something with ERST (Error Record Serialization). Presence of "ERST" caused some delays in searching for information regarding problem (commonly used in German/Deutsch). -- 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.
