screen size not detected correctly

[zuzuf]

just run the feisty herd 5 desktop cd ( amd64 ) on a Dell Precision M90, it starts in 1024x768 with vesa driver so it looks stretched on my 1920x1200 screen and it's slow. It worked with 6.10 - I got 1920x1200 with nv driver on, everything was detected and working. Everything else is working perfectly, good job guys :-)!!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested from [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingXAutoconfiguration as separate attachments.

could you run 'xresprobe nv' and post the results?

[zuzuf (zuzuf86-gmail)]

Here is what I am getting after launching the Desktop CD ( amd 64 ):
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ xresprobe nv
grep: /tmp/xprobe.9106/xorg.log: No such file or directory
grep: /tmp/xprobe.9106/xorg.log: No such file or directory
id:
res:
freq:
disptype: lcd/lvds

my gfx card is a quadro FX 2500M ( even if it's seen as a GeForce 7 by
the KDE configuration tool but it's seen correctly by KInfoCenter )
and it worked fine on the same machine with kubuntu 6.10 ( still amd64
desktop CD ).

you need to run it with sudo or run 'sudo -s' and then that command. Also could you attach /var/log/casper.log.

[zuzuf (zuzuf86-gmail)]

this time it's not blank:
id:
res: 1920x1200
freq:
disptype: lcd/lvds

I hope it will help

keep making great distros :-) !!

Please attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log files

Also please attach the output from ddcprobe.

I think this is just another dupe of 27667. The output from ddcprobe would confirm it.

[zuzuf (zuzuf86-gmail)]

When I run ddcprobe, I get this:
vbe: VESA 3.0 detected.

edid:
edidfail

it seems it only detects half the video memory, and lots of resolutions are
missing.

I hope it'll help.

Ah, thanks, this is actually a dupe of the edidfail bug. Duping to that one.
