Bug 86051 – Matrox driver does not set correct refresh rates for second monitor after reboot.

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hal Engel 2005-03-20 13:02:55 UTC]

When I reboot my system the second monitor does not have the correct refresh rates.  The monitor says refresh rates out of range and says the current setting is 102KHz and 81Hz.  I need 94KHz and 75Hz for this to work correctly.  Both of my monitors are identical and are setup the same in xorg.conf.  If I restart X then the second monitor is OK.  It does this from both a cold boot and a warm boot. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start or restart Linux
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
When X starts the second monitor reports that the refresh rates are out of range
with the values 102KHz and 81Hz.  The correct refresh rates are 94KHz and 75Hz.

Expected Results:  
Both monitors should have the correct refresh rates set and I should be able to
use the second display after a boot or reboot without having to restart X.

I have a Matrox G450 video card.  I am running xorg 6.8.0-r4.  I also tried xorg
6.8.2 but it had the same problem.  I am running the 2004.3 profile.
