Description Luka Renko 2007-08-23 09:34:53 UTC

I am testing latest ATI driver prerelease with RandR 1.2 extensions support on Kubuntu Gutsy with packages provided by Tormod Volden. See  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge for package info.

HW: HP nw8240 laptop with ATI FireGL V5000 PCIE, 15.4" 1920x1200 laptop LCD panel

There are two issues:

1. Resolution not properly detected
X was started in 1280x800 resolution. The error reported in the log:
(II) RADEON(0): Not using mode "1920x1200" (width too large for virtual size)

I have solved this, by adding "Virtual 1920 1200" to Display section.

2. Display size not properly detected > wrong DPI
After solving resolution problem, I got wrong DPI, due to wrong detection of my 
LCD panel size.

xdpyinfo reports:
  dimensions:    1920x1200 pixels (507x317 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

It is strange, as from the log file, it does look that proper display size (330x210) is detected:

(II) RADEON(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 33  vert.: 21

I have tried to workaround this by adding "DisplaySize 330 210" to Monitor section of xorg.conf, but it does not look like to help.

I will attach all conf and log files

Comment 6 Luka Renko 2007-08-30 17:11:33 UTC

Problem 1 (resolution) is fixed with 6.7.192-1ubuntu1

Problem 2 is still there in that version, however I can workaround creating /etc/X11/Xsession.d/35ati-fix-displaysize file with following content:

/usr/bin/xrandr --fbmm 330x210 || true

Comment 7 Luka Renko 2007-09-18 15:51:04 UTC

Problem 2 still exists with 1:6.7.192-1ubuntu2 version.

Comment 8 Luka Renko 2007-09-18 15:52:33 UTC

Similar issue (just different HW) in bug 12474
