11.1 install incorrectly detects LCD panel resolution
Last modified: 2008-12-18 09:27:52 UTC
I just installed openSUSE 11.1 GM with automatic configuration enabled onto a Dell Latitude D600 with a 1400x1050 LCD panel, but it automatically configured it as 1024x768. After manually reconfiguring it to the native resolution using SaX2 everything displays great - this is an installation-only issue (I have a vague memory SaX2 is not used during install, in which case the bug component should be changed). I'll attach debug shortly.
This is where it went wrong (excerpt from /var/log/YaST2/y2log): 2008-12-13 21:10:51 <1> linux-cz03(4696) [YCP] clients/x11_proposal.ycp:131 Reading libsax cache data... 2008-12-13 21:10:51 <1> linux-cz03(4696) [YCP] clients/x11_proposal.ycp:148 Reading libsax data finished. 2008-12-13 21:10:51 <1> linux-cz03(4696) [YCP] clients/x11_proposal.ycp:149 Creating proposal summary with the following data: 2008-12-13 21:10:51 <1> linux-cz03(4696) [YCP] clients/x11_proposal.ycp:150 $["cardName":"ATI RV250 Lf", "colorDepth":"24", "extVGAactive":false, "has3D":true, "is3DCard":true, "isFbdevBased":false, "isNoteBook":true, "isNoteBookHW":true, "monitorInch":"14.1", "monitorName":"LG LGP 1024X768 [ DELL ]", "monitorSize":["14.1", "4", "3"], "resolution":"1024x768", "tabletID":0] 2008-12-13 21:10:51 <1> linux-cz03(4696) [Interpreter] x11/x11Dialog.ycp:441 Called YaST client returned. 2008-12-13 21:10:51 <1> linux-cz03(4696) [YCP] x11/x11Dialog.ycp:222 Script x11_proposal returned $["links":["sax-monitor", "sax-resolution", "sax -displaysize", "sax-colors", "sax-3d", "sax-ext-vga", "sax-test"], "preformatted_proposal":"<ul><li>Graphics card: ATI RV250 Lf</li><li>Display Se ttings<ul><li>Monitor: LG LGP 1024X768 [ DELL ] (<a href=\"sax-monitor\">change </a>)</li><li>Size: 14.1 Inches - Aspect 4:3 (<a href=\"sax-displ aysize\">change</a>)</li><li>Resolution: 1024x768 (<a href=\"sax-resolution\">change</a>)</li><li>Color Depth: 24 bit - 16.7 M Colors (<a href=\"s ax-colors\">change</a>)</li><li>3D Acceleration: Activated (<a href=\"sax-3d\">change</a>)</li><li>Dual Head Mode: Deactivated (<a href=\"sax-ex t-vga\">change</a>)</li></ul></li></ul>"] As you can see it detected the display panel as "LG LGP 1024X768 [ DELL ]" even though there is an option for Dell Latitude D600 in SaX2.
Created attachment 259941 [details] y2log from install
Created attachment 259942 [details] output of hwinfo --gfx --monitor
Maybe I should have mentioned that the above hwinfo was run after manually correcting the config.
