Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
With a non-existing xorg.conf file, my (Samsung 2443BW) monitor is not
detected properly. Max resolution found is 1600x1200, while it should be
1920x1200.
The mode line is seen in the Xorg.log:
(II) VESA(0): Modeline "1920x1200"x0.0 154.00 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203
1209 1235 +hsync -vsync (74.0 kHz)
But it's not used. Also, although xserver-xorg-video-radeon is
installed, there is no reference to that module being loaded at start.
lshw in turn lists the graphics controller as unclaimed:
*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
physical id: 5
bus info: p...@0000:01:05.0
version: 00
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:d8000000-dfffffff(prefetchable)
ioport:ee00(size=256) memory:fdbe0000-fdbeffff memory:fda00000-fdafffff
Two problems I think I see are:
- radeon module not being used
- vesa module not using a big enough virtual screen size
Let me know what more info is needed.
