Bug 191720 – =x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.1 locks resolution to full screen

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Marek Sapota 2007-09-08 16:39:12 UTC]

After update to =x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.1 no matter which resolution I choose whole screen is covered, I have a laptop which has a wide-screen and not wide-screen resolutions become stretched. I've turned off this feature in bios and with i810 driver <2.0.0 it worked - I had black fields around my screen, but now this feature is gone and I can't switch to a "normal" 4:3 resolution properly.

Reproducible: Always

I have a similar problem when starting with a connected tv-screen. The resolution is reduced to 1024x768, but the screen on the laptop fills the hole 1400x1050 with a repeated (but scaled down) background image. Only the upper left part is usable. I'm using xorg-server-1.4 on a Samsung X20.

I've just added a snapshot of the upcoming 2.2.1 release, as upstream wants more testing before making official releases.

Please try this snapshot along with xorg-server-1.4.0.90. If it isn't fixed, please open a bug in freedesktop's bugzilla [1] and paste the url here.

Thanks

Ping :) Any updates here? I've just pushed 2.2.1 to portage. Could you try it out?

Thanks

It is still not resolved.

Ok, thanks for pointing it out. We'll track this bug upstream.
