I said this too early. It still goes well every now and then. Next time I started the X-server the good case was back and it's still random. Moreover, in the good case, the output of xrandr is actually dynamic -- it usually shows "VGA disconnected", but every now and then is shows "VGA connected". When running xrandr 50 times, it was disconnected 38 times and connected 12 times. Every time it writes some lines to Xorg.0.log, which differs slightly depending on whether xrandr shows disconnected or connected. The four possible cases are attached, 3195-disconnected-diff.txt or b567-disconnected-diff.txt would come when xrandr shows disconnected, and one of the two others when it shows connected. The only difference between the files is the presence of two blocks of I2C messages. The appearance of the second block happens when xrandr shows VGA connected. The first block may or may not appear in both cases. Could it be that the state of some register fluctuates and that the resolution of the X-server depends on the state of this register when the X-server is started? ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log-jauntyalpha2-Goodcase.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21295588/Xorg.0.log-jauntyalpha2-Goodcase.txt ** Attachment added: "3195-disconnected-diff.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21295589/3195-disconnected-diff.txt ** Attachment added: "b657-disconnected-diff.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21295590/b657-disconnected-diff.txt ** Attachment added: "4c61-connected-diff.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21295591/4c61-connected-diff.txt ** Attachment added: "72cf-connected-diff.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21295592/72cf-connected-diff.txt ** Attachment added: "xrandrdemo.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21295593/xrandrdemo.txt -- [i915G] Low resolution mode set from non-existent VGA connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
