Bug 113373 – fbdev stuck at 1024x768 with gentoo-sources 2.6.14+

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hiel Van Campen 2005-11-23 10:19:10 UTC]

I have two systems sis chipset via c2 and a via chipset, sempron 2600 with a
GeForce4 MX 440 AGP x8. I use fbdev in xorg and vesa-tng in the kerenl. with
gentoo-sources-2.6.13 I run at 1200x1024 in the console and in xorg. When I use
2.6.14 the sis box this works. Probably because of the sisusb[vga] patch in
2.6.14-rc1 git summuary. The geforce box is stuck in 1024x768 for both console
and xorg, the vesafb-tng 1.0-rc1-r1 patch in the gentoo-sources? Ive tried both
vesa and vesa-tng, 2.6.14 and -r2. If I go back to 2.6.13 fbdev works fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gentoo-sources-2.6.14+ 
2.statrxfce4 
3.

Actual Results:  
stuck at 1024x768

Expected Results:  
screen should be 1200x1024

Michal, can you take this please?

[Comment 2 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2005-11-25 09:46:09 UTC]

A few things:

1) What driver do you use in xorg?
2) Could you please provide: the output from 'fbset -i' when running both 2.6.14
and 2.6.13 and the contents of your /proc/cmdline when running 2.6.14?

This was a dumb bug :( I missed typed several times 1024x768@75 with
1024x768x75. That straighten out the consul and re-running xorgcfg fixed X.
