Hi

Last known good: 2.6.38 Failing kernel: 2.6.39-rc3 Subsystem: Intel graphics driver.

Description: PC should work with 1440x900 resolution. But console (and after) X Window start work with 1024x768.

I attach dmesg and Xorg.0.log with drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=16M options: http://unixy.pl/maciek/download/kernel/2.6.39-rc1/zlom/kms/

seems that driver cannot detect resolution higher than 1024x768.

Also I boot kernel replace "i915.modeset=1" with "nomodeset" option: http://unixy.pl/maciek/download/kernel/2.6.39-rc1/zlom/nomodeset/

But then X Window fails to start and got message: "(EE) No devices detected."

Config for 2.6.39-rc3: http://unixy.pl/maciek/download/kernel/2.6.39-rc1/zlom/config-2.6.39-rc3

Best regards

2 weeks ago. Problem STILL exists on 2.6.39. That any of the graphic developers might be interested in the problem?

I had a problem similar to this, beginning with 2.6.37 (2.6.36 was okay). It turned out to be that newer kernels were detecting the LVDS (LCD panel) interface from the chipset, event though nothing was attached to that interface. So GNOME would come up at 1024x768 (max the LVDS supported, I guess).

I initially worked around it by going into the GNOME -> Preferences -> Monitors, and disabling the LVDS device there, in favour of the 1920x1200 "VGA" device I use.

Later, I hacked my kernel to just ignore the LVDS completely:
