External monitor connected to Cedarview drivers- required virtual size does not fit available size

[garypeg]

required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2944, 1080), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(2048, 2048)

GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code3: required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2944, 1080), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(2048, 2048)

This feature was working until a recent update.

When booting I see a broken pipe message, trying to get vcount- something like that.

Ubuntu 13 daily build as of around April 12-14
thanks

I've fixed this issue in:
commit cbbd379aa43890f36da934f5af619d2fb8ec3d87
Author: Patrik Jakobsson <email address hidden>
Date: Thu Apr 25 22:23:36 2013 +0200
drm/gma500: Increase max resolution for mode setting

It went in with 3.9-rc1, but I'll send it to the stable lists and hopefully they will pick it up.

-Patrik

[Patrik Jakobsson (patrik-r-jakobsson)]

The fix has been picked up for the next stable 3.4 and 3.9 release. No word from the Ubuntu kernel team yet but hopefully they'll pick it up for 3.8 as well.

-Patrik

[madbiologist (me-again)]

The fix is available in the currently under development Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" in kernel 3.9.0-6.13 , whose description includes the following comment:

  * rebase to v3.9.6
