Bug Description
graphics/
One of the things checked to compute the max resolution is if the monitor is set to "enabled"[1].
Unfortunately, it seems that nvidia drivers do not set these attributes properly, leaving them to "disabled" all the time:
This cause the graphics/
Workaround: since this is a manual job, the tester can set the outcome to "Passed", but the information shown is erroneous. Example:
--------------
The displays do not seem to be configured at their maximum resolution.
Please switch to the maximum resolution before continuing.
Current compositor: x11
Maximum resolution found for each connected monitors:
card1-DP-5: 1920x1200 (on, connected, disabled)
Current resolution found for each connected monitors:
DP-0 (DEL): 1920x1200 @100%
--------------
In this example, the monitor reported by the nvidia driver is marked as "disabled" even though it's being used and it works as expected.
