Description Bernhard Mähr 2007-04-09 12:57:38 UTC

Some settings made in xorg.conf are ignored/get lost.
* The Modeline "1280x1024"  109.00  1280 1368 1504 1728  1024 1027 1034 1069 is never used.

* The values  HorizSync 30-150 VertRefresh 30-150 are first honored
(II) intel(0): Using hsync ranges from config file
(II) intel(0): Using vrefresh ranges from config file
but then lost (output from xf86ProbeOutputModes after setting the default which was changed in the source to 10-90, 10-150. In other words: The default is used)
(II) intel(0): VRefresh-Range 10.0-90.0 Hz
(II) intel(0): HSync-Range 10.0-150.0 kHz

* The setting DisplaySize 708 398 is ignored, the values reported by EDID are honored

xorg.conf

Comment 3 Vincent Lönngren 2007-09-24 13:32:23 UTC

This bug is still present in 7.3.

Comment 4 Vincent Lönngren 2007-09-29 06:29:14 UTC

I've been using the nv driver. Today I tried the closed-source binary driver from Nvidia, and then DisplaySize is honored. Perhaps it's 
something driver specific?

Comment 5 Brice Goglin 2007-10-27 03:28:03 UTC

Could be related to #12474, fixed in xserver git recently.

Comment 6 Bernhard Mähr 2007-11-03 15:55:25 UTC

After several days of work I finally got git head to compile. 

I just tested it and none of the three problems is solved.

> Could be related to #12474, fixed in xserver git recently.

It is solved at the wrong place (look at the new log) and xorg.conf doesn't override the EDID settings.

The other two problems are also unchanged.

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "Xoro"

  HorizSync 30-150
  VertRefresh 30-150

  DisplaySize 709 398
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
  UseModes "XoroModes"
EndSection

Comment 9 Bernhard Mähr 2008-01-31 13:54:47 UTC

The first two settings are honered after using the patch from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10584

The bug 

"The setting DisplaySize 708 398 is ignored, the values reported by EDID are
honored"

is not so important.

Comment 10 Vincent Lönngren 2008-01-31 14:11:51 UTC

It may not be very important, but it's still a bug, right? It can cause strange effects in some, admittedly not very common, cases. If the DisplaySize option is going to be unused then it could at least be removed from the documentation or something. Wouldn't it be better to leave it as a bug but with a low priority?

About my silly comments on drivers earlier, I don't know what that was about. The problem persists on my new system with the intel driver.

Comment 11 Vincent Lönngren 2008-02-04 21:27:08 UTC

I still think it's a bug when xorg.conf settings are ignored...
