Description Milosz Tanski 2007-07-06 15:51:39 UTC
I have a thinkpad z61t with a 945GM video card. I've recently updated to ubuntu feisty to checkout (mostly) this new Intel video driver and it works great with big annoyance.

Whenever I plug my external samsung LCD (205BW) via the vga connector the image on it looks blurry. When I got to my monitor control panel, it tells me that the signal coming to the monitor is 1400x1050 @ 65.3kHz 60Hz. Xrand thinks it's 1050. This happens when I let the Intel drive do it's thing (remove the config file) or if I have a xorg.conf file explicitly specifying the resolution.

This did not occur in the old i810 driver before, if I setup Xorg.conf it would display 1680x1050 without any issues, crystal clear.

For now I'm unable to use my external LCD due to this.

Thanks

X log with intel driver, minimal config

I think I'm experiencing the same issue with a 945GM/GMS in a Dell Latitude D620 and external Dell 20" flat panel.  With the intel driver the display complains that it needs 1600x1200 60Hz.  Log indicates that it's sending 1280x1024.

intel module version is 2.0.0

X log with i810, no config

With the i810 driver I get the proper 1600x1200 display.  I updated the driver to 2.1.0 and no change with the intel driver.
Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2007-08-03 11:41:52 UTC
Is this a dup of bug #10625?
Comment 5 Eric Anholt 2007-08-08 12:11:49 UTC
Milosz: Please don't gzip logs -- just use text/plain.  Could you add Option "ModeDebug" "YES" to the device section of xorg.conf and attach a log of a fresh startup with the monitor connected?

Orion: please open your own bug for your own issue.
Comment 6 Gordon Jin 2007-09-11 22:28:27 UTC
Milosz, please respond.
