Could you attach _both_ full Xorg.<N>.log for .914 and .916? Thanks Created attachment 384542 [details]

Xorg.0.log with 2.99.911-r1
I added xorg logs, except I use 2.99.911-r1 instead of 2.99.914 because later versions have other problems. I hope that's okay. .911: [ 20.299] (II) intel(0): Output eDP1 using monitor section <default monitor> [ 20.299] (--) intel(0): Found backlight control interface acpi_video0 (type 'firmware') for output eDP1 [ 20.299] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 has no monitor section .916: [ 20.295] (II) intel(0): Output eDP1 has no monitor section [ 20.295] (--) intel(0): Found backlight control interface acpi_video0 (type 'firmware') for output eDP1 [ 20.295] (II) intel(0): Enabled output eDP1 [ 20.295] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 using monitor section <default monitor> Basically, something in the driver probably decided that VGA1 was now the default output, and so your monitor section applies to it. From xorg.conf(5): With RandR 1.2-enabled drivers, monitor sections may be tied to specific outputs of the video card. Using the name of the output defined by the video driver plus the identifier of a monitor section, one associates a monitor section with an output by adding an option to the Device section in the following format: Option "Monitor-outputname" "monitorsection" (for example, Option "Monitor-VGA" "VGA monitor" for a VGA output) So try using this in your xorg.conf in your Device section : Option "Monitor-eDP1" "<default monitor>" (In reply to Rémi Cardona from comment #5) > So try using this in your xorg.conf in your Device section : > > Option "Monitor-eDP1" "<default monitor>" It helped, .916 chooses dpi correctly now. So the question is: Is .916 choosing VGA1 as default considered a bug or is it undefined what is default so I just got lucky that previous versions chose my actual monitor as default?

It was intended, and there was a regression. One that is now fixed in master by the mentioned sha1. So it'll be fixed in the next upstream release. I expect this was fixed in 917. |
