I am running OpenSuSE 10.2 and have a problem where KDE thinks there are two overlaying screens of different sizes on the LVDS display. When I hit the maximize button on a window it sets the size of the window to the size of the smaller screen
Attaching Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf required as usual. Output of xrandr would be convenient as well.

If there's anyone in the San Jose area working on this stuff I'd be happy to bring it to them.

I think the smaller "screen" that KDE is overlaying over the LVDS display is the size of the VGA screen. Is there a way to disable the VGA output in addition to the TV output? Can I have them back someday?
I've done some experimenting with trying to disable the VGA output, but I'm not competent at writing X config files. No matter what I do it still wants to overlay the vga and LVDS displays/screens/outputs/monitors (whatever the hell you want to call them).
Setting the VGA output to ignore "fixes" the problem. If there's anything else I can do to help narrow it down and create a fix I'd be able to help with that.
So did you have VGA connected?
(In reply to comment #9) > So did you have VGA connected? > No, VGA is disconnected
Keith, could you take a look?
Would you please remove: 1. Modes section 2. remove any horizsync and vertrefresh info 3. remove Monitor "Monitor[0]" in your screen section in your xorg.conf and have a try? Thanks, Hong
Created attachment 13024 [details] Current working xorg.conf This is my current xorg.conf file. If I remove this: Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection The problem returns. Removing the Monitor statement statement had no effect with or without the above VGA Monitor section.

Using your xorg.conf, I can't reproduce your problem with my 965gm laptop. Our driver detected the VGA status correctly. From your xrandr output, it is strange that the VGA has be configured with mode "1024x768_60". I can't find this mode in your xorg.conf. And it seems somewhere in your system has added this mode using xrandr.
If you comment out the VGA disable you should have the problem. I can still reproduce it with mine. I may have to update to the latest version of the driver as it's been several months since I changed anything. The config I have was the one that was generated by the SuSE 10.2 install. I have never hooked the machine up to a VGA monitor. If you're in Santa Clara I'd be good for drinks and appetizers at Burke's to look at it in person :).

Eric, I don't think this is a generic 965GM bug. We can't reproduce this issue here. We still suspect the 1025x768_60 is a mode added by xrandr. The bug has been stalled for long enough to try if the issue is gone in the new release (xserver and intel driver), without using the VGA ignore option.
Okay, I'll download a fresh release and see if it works out.
I also suggest you could grep the 1024x768_60 in your config directory or default home directory. It looks weird to us, if it's not added by calling xrandr..
I found this in the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager file (there's a template file with this too). ## Type: string ## Default: "auto" # # Mode to configure on output devices by default # (RANDR 1.2 compatible drivers only). # # If set to "auto", DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto is used on laptops, and # the empty string on workstations. # # The output is not explicitly enabled (read: disabled) if set to an empty # string. # If the variable contains a fully configured modeline (see default of # DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto), the mode is defined and set. # If the variable contains a mode name only, the mode has to be defined # already. # # If a monitor is attached during Xstartup, or when invoking "xrandr --auto" # during runtime, the output is correctly configured and a mode is # automatically selected if none has been used so far. # # Variables are checked according to their extension for # VGA DVI_I DVI_D DVI_A Composite S_Video Component LFP Proprietary # DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="auto" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_DVI_I="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_DVI_D="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_DVI_A="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_Compsite="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_S_Video="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_Component="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_LFP="" #DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_Proprietary="" ## Type: string ## Default: "1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync" # # Mode to use for laptops for DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_* on laptops only, # when the according variable is set to "auto". # (RANDR 1.2 compatible drivers only). # DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync" 185,1 Bot
It seems this configure file will auto config 1024x768_60 to your VGA output. Please comment out this line DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="auto" to have a try.
I was able to change this line: DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="auto" to this: DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="" and comment out the section for ignoring VGA in my xorg.conf. This solves the problem that I was having.
OK, I will close this bug now :)
Should I go over to OpenSuSE.org and complain?
