Hello Using xorg-video-intel 2.9.1 on xserver 1.6.5 and linux kernels 2.6.31 and 2.6.32-rc8, I notice a regression in KMS vs xorg modesetting. Without KMS, setting a 4:3 resolution (for instance 1024x768) on a 16:10 LCD screen (1440x900 in my case) makes xorg use black lateral borders in order to respect the aspect-ratio. If I use KMS, the image is teared to fill the whole screen, which is quite uggly. It affects me in two use cases : - playing fullscreen games - when using a VGA 4:3 projector in clone mode (I set LVDS1 and VGA1 to 1024x768) Thanks for your work, this bug aside, the driver is excellent !
Do you mean the panel fitting feature for your LVDS panel? Current kernel has supported that in KMS already, default is 'fullscreen' mode. You can use xrandr to change the property of "scaling mode" on LVDS output, like xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" xxx
Hello Indeed, it works with xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" "Full aspect" I remember trying this at the time, but it didn't work. Now it's OK. Thanks a lot
