[05:46] <mlankhorst> morning
[09:56] <tkamppeter> I have some problems with a new Intel HD graphics PC
[09:56] <mlankhorst> what kind
[09:56] <tkamppeter> The mobo has only HDMI and DisplayPort output, but xrandr shows also a VGA output which is limited to 1024x768 and fully automatic startup falls aways into 1024x768.
[09:57] <tkamppeter> How can I makethe login screen 1920x1080?
[09:57] <mlankhorst> you can change it after login?
[09:58] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, yes, after login I can configure my desktop's resolution with the "Displays" part of th system settings.
[09:59] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, so principally the resolution is supported. Driver is the intel driver.
[10:00] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, xrandr output with the manually configured desktop: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1113490/
[10:01] <mlankhorst> great, VGA-1 connected..
[10:02] <mlankhorst> xrandr -q --verbose ?
[10:02] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1113491/
[10:03] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, this is really strange, the mobo has no VGA connector.
[10:04] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1113495/
[10:05] <mlankhorst> unsurprisingly no edid data, anything in dmesg?
[10:06] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, there is EDID data in theXorg.0.log
[10:08] <mlankhorst> ok make a bug to xorg so it attaches all relevant logs, and additionally attach a log booting with drm.debug=0xe?
[10:08] <mlankhorst> you can add a workaround by disabling vga-1 in xorg.conf but you're probably more interested in the proper fix :)
[10:08] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, nothing found in dmesg, but I do not really know what to search for.
[10:09] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, next problem is that the mouse is not going smoothly.
[10:12] <mlankhorst>  :s
[10:15] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, is thee a workaround for the time being until the problem gets fixed? For example entries in xorg.conf
[10:20] <jcristau> video=VGA1:d
[10:20] <jcristau> on the kernel cmdline
[10:22] <tkamppeter> jcristau, what does this mean exactly? And where do I edit the kernel command line in the GRUB config?
[10:25] <jcristau> it means disable VGA1, and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub
[10:29] <tkamppeter> jcristau, thank you, will try.
[10:48] <tkamppeter> jcristau, I havetried it, edited /etc/default/grub as you told and afterwards run "sudo update grub", rebooted and still 1024x768.
[10:49] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, bug 1029865
[10:55] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, how do I boot with drm.debug=0xe? Is this a kernel CMD line option? Where do I find thelog after the reboot?
[10:56] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, how do I disable vga-1 in xorg.conf?
[11:03] <mlankhorst> tkamppeter: yeah add to grub and collect from syslog or dmesg
[11:24] <tkamppeter> jcristau, your trick with the kernel command line works. Thank you!
[11:43] <tkamppeter> jcristau, false alarm, with thekernel cmmad I got the rare case of correct hi-res login screen only once. Now it is rock solid 1024x768 again.
[11:43] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, bug report update with syslog with drm.debug info.
[11:56] <mlankhorst> tkamppeter: oh i asked
[11:56] <mlankhorst> 13:53 < ickle> mlankhorst: temporary bug early in 3.5 cycle, to accommodate kvm switches we tried to probe the crt and missed that the fallback from that 
[11:56] <mlankhorst>                would accidentally decide the display was connected
[11:56] <mlankhorst> so I guess upgrading kernel will fix it
[11:58] <tkamppeter> mlankhorst, what do you mean with "oh i asked"?
[11:58] <mlankhorst> on intel-gfx about it
[17:24] <Azelphur> Anyone know of a way to trick the system into thinking there is a second monitor (in a typical dual screen/twinview setup), when there is in fact no physical monitor present?
[17:24] <Azelphur> the goal being to do that, then use VNC to connect to the second fake display, and use my android tablet as a second monitor. :)
[18:40] <Prf_Jakob> RAOF: Sorry, to bother you again, is there a easy way I can try out the system compositor?
