I use xrandr to output my computer screen through a video component to my television set, but the component requires that the screen be set at a resolution of <=800x600, while my normal resolution is 1024x768. I do updates on Saturdays. Up until the portage tree sync and subsequent emerge -avuD world two days ago, xrandr was working perfectly. Now it is not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xrandr -s 800x600 2. 3. Actual Results: Apparently absolutely nothing. The screen resolution does not change, and xrandr return zero (as reported by checking the $? variable) Expected Results: The screen should resize camille ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 i686 unknown Timestamp of tree: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:04:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" LINGUAS="en fr es" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage-packages/camille" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--human-readable" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 acl acpi additions alsa apache2 apm arts asterisk audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bind-mysql bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cairo candy cdr cgi cli cracklib crypt ctype cups dba dbus divx4linux doc dri dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo examples expat f77 fam ffmpeg flash foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gentoo gif glut gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile hal iconv imap imlib ipv6 isdnlog ithreads ivtv jack jack-tempfs java jikes joystick jpeg kde kerberos ldap lib libclamav libg++ libwww lirc mad midi mikmod mmx mmx2 mmxext mode-owner motif mp3 mpeg mplayer mpm-leader mudflap mysql mythtv nas nautilus ncurses new-login nls nntp nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl php png portaudio ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline real reflection ruby samba sasl sdl seamonkey session slp snmp spell spl sql ssl svg svga syslog tcl tcltk tcpd threads tidy tiff truetype unicode usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vanilla vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xml2 xorg xv zaptel zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en fr es" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i740 i810 imstt mach64 mga neomagic nsc nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS camille ~ # uname -a Linux camille 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 #1 SMP Sun Jul 20 08:49:07 CDT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
