Hi, I just updated -current from Jun-10 to Jun-11. After rebooting, my external monitor (VGA) turn in a lower resolution than it used to be. xrandr doesn't list the old modes (higher resolution) any more. Even I add a new mode, it doesen't work.

I noticed that there is a firmware bug in dmesg: video.allow_duplicates=1
I set that parm through modprobe.d. And I confirmed this setting through /sys/module/video/parameters/
But nothing changed.

My display card is intel i915. So I think this issue is related to the latest update of mesa?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Did you add a modeline for your new mode? My desktop PC is connected to a SOYO monitor, and I have to give both a modeline and the monitor size in addition to the mode in order to be able to run the monitor at its native 1680x1050 resolution.

I do add a new mode for the monitor. But it doesn't work. The thing is, before the latest kernel update, everything works out of the box. After the upgrade, it failed.

Which video driver you use ?

intel_agp
intel_gtt
i915
