Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu 19.04 Aaffected package: x11-xserver-utils 7.7+8 Related package: read-edid 3.0.2-1build1
I have a monitor capable of 2560x1440 display for which xrandr fails to detect 2560x1440 as a valid resolution: ==== output from xrandr --prop ==== $ sudo xrandr --prop Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 DVI-I-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm EDID: 00ffffffffffff002264000000000000 1c1b0103803c2278ea9055a75553a028 135054bfef8081c08140818090409500 a940b300d1c0565e00a0a0a029503020 350055502100001a000000ff00313233 34353637383930313233000000fc0048 513237325050420a20202020000000fd 00384b1f591e000a20202020202001fe 020324f14f9005040302071601141f12 131e1607230907078301000067030c00 2000383c023a801871382d40582c4500 55502100001f011d8018711c1620582c 250055502100009f011d007251d01e20 6e28550055502100001f8c0ad08a20e0 2d10103e960055502100001900000000 000000000000000000000000000000b2 dithering depth: auto supported: auto, 6 bpc, 8 bpc dithering mode: auto supported: auto, off, static 2x2, dynamic 2x2 scaling mode: None supported: None, Full, Center, Full aspect color vibrance: 150 range: (0, 200) vibrant hue: 90 range: (0, 180) underscan vborder: 0 range: (0, 128) underscan hborder: 0 range: (0, 128) underscan: off supported: auto, off, on subconnector: DVI-D supported: Unknown, DVI-D, DVI-A link-status: Good supported: Good, Bad non-desktop: 0 range: (0, 1) 1920x1080* 60.00 50.00 59.94 1920x1080i 60.00 50.00 59.94 1600x1200 60.00 1680x1050 59.88 1400x1050 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 59.90 1280x960 60.00 1152x864 75.00 1280x720 60.00 50.00 59.94 1440x576 50.00 1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00 832x624 74.55 800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25 720x576 50.00 720x480 60.00 59.94 640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 60.00 59.94 720x400 70.08 =================================== The effect is that after boot and before login, the X display is a narrow letterbox on the screen. After I login, the X display is "corrected" to 1920x1080. However, get-edid/parse-edid does detect 2560x1440 as "Mode 0": ==== output from get-edid| parse-edid ==== $ sudo get-edid| parse-edid This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun. Attempting to use i2c interface No EDID on bus 2 No EDID on bus 3 No EDID on bus 4 No EDID on bus 5 No EDID on bus 6 No EDID on bus 7 No EDID on bus 8 No EDID on bus 9 No EDID on bus 10 No EDID on bus 11 No EDID on bus 12 2 potential busses found: 0 1 Will scan through until the first EDID is found. Pass a bus number as an option to this program to go only for that one. Bus 0 doesn't really have an EDID... 256-byte EDID successfully retrieved from i2c bus 1 Looks like i2c was successful. Have a good day.

I am able to workaround this using the steps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr, but ideally that should not be necessary. ** Affects: x11-xserver-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847847 Title: xrandr omits EDID modelines found by get-edid/parse-edid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/1847847/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
