 |
|
Hello Team,
When i play with randr everything is working fine. But i wanted to make my config permanent and keep it in xorg.conf.
I have:
| Code: |
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "eDP1"
#VendorName "Unknown"
#ModelName "Unknown"
#HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0
#VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
Option "DPMS"
Modeline "1600x1200_59.90" 160.69 1600 1704 1880 2160 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "1600x900_59.90" 118.80 1600 1696 1864 2128 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "2880x1620_59.90" 396.75 2880 3096 3416 3952 1620 1621 1624 1676 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "1920x1080_59.90" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900_59.90"
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "eDP1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900_59.90"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
But still when launching xorg the biggest resolution is selected. In logs i can see:
| Code: |
[ 1345.219] (II) intel(0): Output eDP1 using monitor section eDP1
[ 1345.219] (**) intel(0): Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900_59.90"
[ 1345.219] (--) intel(0): found backlight control interface intel_backlight (type 'raw')
[ 1345.219] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section
[ 1345.219] (II) intel(0): Output DP1 has no monitor section
[ 1345.219] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI1 has no monitor section
[ 1345.219] (II) intel(0): Output DP2 has no monitor section
[ 1345.219] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 has no monitor section
[ 1345.219] (--) intel(0): Output eDP1 using initial mode 2880x1620 on pipe 0
|
Why ? How to select 1600x900 ?
After having xorg with 2880x1620 i can switch manually to 1600x900 without any problem (using "xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1600x900_59.90")
Thanks, |

Probably the easiest way is to create a quick shell script that runs the xrandr commands to add the modes and set them, and have it run on startup.
example:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "2048x1536_68" 315.50 2048 2368 2546 2896 1536 1539 1543 1601 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --newmode "1600x1200_80" 222.01 1600 1728 1896 2192 1200 1203 1207 1266 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --newmode "1440x1080_80" 166.78 1440 1560 1592 1840 1080 1083 1087 1133 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --newmode "1440x1080_90" 195.78 1440 1560 1632 1920 1080 1083 1087 1133 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --newmode "512x384_150" 42.50 512 544 592 672 384 387 391 422 -hsync +vsync
# SNES emulation mode 29.97 * 4 vblank
xrandr --newmode "512x448_120" 38.91 512 544 592 672 448 451 461 483 +hsync +vsync
# NTSC emulation mode 59.94 hz interlaced
xrandr --newmode "ntsc" 25.2 640 664 720 800 483 486 496 525 +hsync +vsync Interlace
xrandr --newmode "640x400_120" 43.13 640 672 736 832 400 403 409 432 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "2048x1536_68"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "1600x1200_80"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "1440x1080_80"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "1440x1080_90"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "640x400_120"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "512x448_120"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "512x384_150"
xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "ntsc"
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1440x1080_90 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 1440x0 --rotate normal

So - it's a bug of xorg (i have fresh version recommended by gentoo portage) - or what ? It's very simple change - i would like to have it working
(i will have multiple different scenarios/configs and having them in some startup file is very ugly solution)
Which startup script would you recommend ?
How can i run xrandr before xorg ?
I would like to have first login screen already with the correct resolution.
Thanks, |

It will probably work with this line added to the Monitor section
| Code: | | Option "Monitor-DVI-I-1" "eDP1" |
or
| Code: | | Option "Monitor-HDMI-1" "eDP1" |
or
| Code: | | Option "Monitor-VGA-1" "eDP1" |
etc.
The right connector should be mentioned in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, as something like:
| Code: | | [ 13377.103] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output HDMI-1 has no monitor section |
Cheers! |

I believe eDP1 is my internal laptop display (on older laptop i had LVDS-0).
Connector is eDP1 ?:
| Code: |
arrakis ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i output
[ 76.841] (II) intel(0): Output eDP1 using monitor section eDP1
[ 76.841] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section
[ 76.841] (II) intel(0): Output DP1 has no monitor section
[ 76.841] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI1 has no monitor section
[ 76.841] (II) intel(0): Output DP2 has no monitor section
[ 76.841] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 has no monitor section
[ 76.841] (--) intel(0): Output eDP1 using initial mode 2880x1620 on pipe 0
|
Also xrandr shows:
| Code: |
arrakis ~ # xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2880 x 1620, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected 2880x1620+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1600x900_59.90 59.9 +
2880x1620 60.0*+ 50.0
2048x1536 60.0
1920x1440 60.0
1856x1392 60.0
1792x1344 60.0
1920x1080_59.90 59.9
1600x1200 60.0
1600x1200_59.90 59.9
1400x1050 60.0
1280x1024 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 59.9
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
|
So - should i add something to my xorg.conf ? What exactly ?
Thanks, |

It looks like the Monitor has the same name as the connector you currently use. That's OK. The line can be added to the Monitor section in xorg.conf of your first post. So that would be:
| Code: | | Option "Monitor-eDP1" "eDP1" |

OK, i have added that line to monitor section, so right now it looks like this:
| Code: |
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "eDP1"
Option "DPMS"
Option "Monitor-eDP1" "eDP1"
Modeline "1600x1200_59.90" 160.69 1600 1704 1880 2160 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "1600x900_59.90" 118.80 1600 1696 1864 2128 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "1920x1080_59.90" 172.51 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900_59.90"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "eDP1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900_59.90"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
But i still have the same problem - i am using 2880x1620 resolution. Logs are identical:
| Code: |
[ 1278.717] (II) intel(0): Output eDP1 using monitor section eDP1
[ 1278.717] (**) intel(0): Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900_59.90"
[ 1278.717] (--) intel(0): found backlight control interface intel_backlight (type 'raw')
[ 1278.717] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section
[ 1278.717] (II) intel(0): Output DP1 has no monitor section
[ 1278.717] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI1 has no monitor section
[ 1278.717] (II) intel(0): Output DP2 has no monitor section
[ 1278.717] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 has no monitor section
[ 1278.717] (--) intel(0): Output eDP1 using initial mode 2880x1620 on pipe 0
|
What else can i do to not have that maximum resolution ?
Might that problem be related with intel drivers which i am forced to use ? (i am having lenovo W540 and Nvidia card is not detected here - because of changed design of graphics cards operation).
Also - i have framebuffer running in max resolution (2880x1620) - can it somehow impact xorg ?
Thanks, |

Sorry, it didn't work.
Another thing to try is maybe adding a virtual size to the Subsection "Display" in xorg.conf. But that's a guess. If it works, it's ugly.
If it doesn't work, I'm out of clues... |

Yes - i have tried Virtual. Does not help.
Also setting:
| Code: |
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode "1600x900_59.90"
|
in ~/.xinitrc does not help.
I am suspecting i am hitting this bugs:
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16927
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=536686
Matches my logs. But how to disable xrandr from overriding preferred settings ?
And why so few people have the same problem ?
Thanks,
UPDATE: That is expected. All new drivers ignore ModeLine and few other settings:
https://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
And my logs confirm that PreferredMode is skipped:

|
But that documentation is not consistent, because later on they are suggesting to use both Modelines and Preferred mode 
So far i have succeeded executing xrandr from /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup (i am using xdm with kdm) - so at least during startup i have a correct resolution.
Will try to write some xrandr scripts detecting new monitors and applying correct settings.
Thanks for the help ! |
