Hi there, What's good general advice for dealing with xrandr issues for end users?
I tried to help a user here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/123953/ And I ended up pointing him to Intel's report bug page http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html which does seem to be a really high barrier for entry for average Joe User. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/webc-users/0lTYXqQLkJw/it626uMsAk8J is an nvidia issue (I think) on the Debian based distro I work on. I'm not sure what actually power the nvidia hardware here, though the package list can be found at: http://download.webconverger.com/webc-12.3.txt I did a search for his error message on this list and I did find http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-driver-ati/2011-February/019142.html But Michael did try to add a new modeline and still has the same problem: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/webc-users/0lTYXqQLkJw/qbE9RcfEMeAJ In these cases can I assume it's the video drivers fault if xrandr fails? Any other hints to help debugging would be great. For example when I switch to some modes in xrandr on some machines, the monitor just goes black and then I'm not sure what to do next. Thank you for any tips in advance, _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
