*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 440973 *** Stefan, can you please recheck? I removed all resolution parts from my xorg.conf so that Xorg can autodetect my resolution automatically, which works fine for my laptop's display. But still, I can't select the native resolution of my external display. I can't set it higher that 1024x600. "Mirror screens" is not checked. Martin (I am not talking about sax2 but about gnome-display-properties) Would it be possible to provide the required information according to our HOWTO http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:X for reporting X11 related bugs? Please set the Status back to ASSIGNED after providing all the required information. Thanks. Created attachment 261967 [details]

xrandr output
Looks like your monitor has not been detected at all. Probably in this case it's better to configure the native resolution of the external monitor with SaX2. Is it possible that this is a bug in Xorg or the intel driver? When I plug in my display to my Fedora 10 desktop with Nvidia chipset, the correct resolution is detected automatically (which is 1280x1024). Also, is the Virtual line still needed? How many different issues do you expect me to handle here? Well I only count one issue which is that when plugging in an external monitor with 1280x1024 possible resolution, it is not possible to use that resolution. Now comment #10 was just a guess what the underlying issue may be that causes the problem, as randr thinks that the display only works with 800x600. The issue is that no external monitor has been detected. Thus maximum resolution is 800x600. Well but when I plug it in it appears in gnome-display-properties as a BenQ 17'' which sounds to me as if it would detect one.. But I couldn't see this in the logfile. Maybe running 'xrandr --auto' helps after connecting the monitor. I don't know. This is all wild guessing. This may be caused due to me plugging in the display when the session has started so I have control over it via xrandr. xrandr --auto mirrors the screen, but also only at very limited resolutions. xrandr --auto should do a rescan. If it doesn't help (check new xrandr output) the monitor still has not been detected. Thus I suggested to create a static configuration via SaX2 for the native resolution of the monitor. Sorry, I don't know how to help here. |
