screen resolution

Toutatis · 11-27-2015, 06:28 AM

Hello,

I have bought a 2 ports vga switch, something like this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/vga-switch

to connect 2 computers to one screen. On one of these computers I have Windows 7 and slackware64-current installed.
On windows 7 the screen resolution is maximal (1920x1200) as without the switch, but on slackware X11 it is limited to 1024x768.
The same on the other computer with slackware only.

How to fix this ?

Did you try with the right resolution in the xorg.conf?

Toutatis · 11-27-2015, 01:48 PM

I did nothing in xorg.conf. In fact there is no xorg.conf, only xorg.conf-vesa. The same on another computer which works with resolution 2560x1440
Everything was done by xorgsetup

X and the kernel sometimes has issues sensing through VGA and KVM switches. If you are using the OSS GPU modules XFCE and KDE allows you to sect different default resolutions. For nvidia proprietary drivers, use nvidia-settings. If that does not work then, you need to configure resolution and refresh rate, etc, explicitly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or the new, preferred location /etc/X11/xorg.d/<name>.conf

Note that /etc/X11/xorg.d/ only needs to contain *.conf files to override automatic sections. You may not need a full xorg.conf with all settings

To get a base xorg.conf, as root in CLI (X is not running)

Code:

# X -configure

This will drop an exmple xorf.conf file in root. For example, for 2 monitors connected to DVI on a GTX660 using the "nvidia" blob:

Code:

    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"

    VertRefresh     56.0 - 75.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "Stereo" "0"
    Option         "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"
    Option         "metamodes" "DVI-I-1: 1920x1080_60 +0+0, DVI-D-0: 1920x1080_60 +1920+0"

What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log show? perhaps you have to configure first with a direct connection and then install the VGA switch.

Here is Xorg.0.log (I had to cancel some lines):

Now I use again the switch (still in X11) and the 1920x1200 is still there (very strange)

Not weird: normal. Looks like after boot and/or when X starts clean it can't get any information from the monitor. Via direct connection X can probe the monitor. Then just swapping the cable the old settings are used because you did not restart X, i.e it did not need to reload GPU module or scan for monitors. You will need to generate a full xorg.conf with all the relevant monitor settings (serverlayout, modes and modelines). You can read up on "man xorg.conf" and see, for example, http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes/

Have fun!

@kingbeowulf thank you for your help. Now it works !

But I had also to do something else, following https://[URL="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_mode_setting"].

I downloaded and installed read-edid ( http://http://www.polypux.org/projects/read-edid/ ) , run it (with my monitor directly connected) to obtain my EDID , create the directory /lib/firmware/edid/, put the EDID in it.

Finally, I could connect my monitor to the switch. When I reboot I must give the following parameters to the kernel (put in lilo.conf)

I had to compile 1680x1050.bin with the help of kernel docs, because the monitor has different DPI than specified in the bin that comes with the kernel.
It's the problem with some old monitors that don't expose EDID, drm_kms_helper works, but only for nouveau module, not for nvidia blob.
