Hi there!
I'm running Arch (KDE 4.6.1) on an intel Essential D510mo mobo. Now I'm seeing some graphics issues, which seem interrelated to me:
1. on the tty the output extends only over part of the screen: the right (estimated) quarter and the bottom (estimated) quarter stay black
2. plasma device notifications pop up roughly at the same spot where my tty ends. The rest of KDE 'looks normally', extending to the physical borders of my screen
3. KDE's splash screen (set to Standard, 'Air and Horos Splash Screen') shows two wallpapers: one covering the whole screen, underneath a smaller copy of itself in the same reduced size as seen in 1 and 2
4. sometimes (mainly when the screen gets driven by my other PC on its DVI-D input) kdm comes up in a lower *resolution*. This lower resolution *might* correspond to the same size as seen in 1 to 3, but it's hard to tell
Some details regarding my setup:
- The board is connected to a 1680x1050 TFT via its VGA input.
- I *think* I'm running KMS (at least switching between TTY's and X works instantly).
- krandrtray talks of my mobo having two connectors: one is called LVDS1, allowing a resolution of up to 1280x800, the other is called VGA1 allowing a resolution of up to 1680x1050. The ratio of these resolutions roughly corresponds to the two screen sizes I've spoken about in 1-3 above. When clicking krandrtray's 'identify screens', both 'LVDS1' and 'VGA1' are shown on my one physical TFT, slightly shifted (I assume they both are shown in the 'center' of their respective screens). So my mobo seem to think it can drive two screen simultaneously. I don't think so, but I may be wrong.
- Some time ago, when kdm almost always came up in the wrong resolution, I created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/15-edid.conf to try to force the graphics driver to run at 1680x1050:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel Corporation "
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSectionI know I'm being terribly vague, sorry for that. If there's any further information you need, I'll be glad to provide it, but at the moment I don't know what to look for. Still, I'd be grateful for any help offered. I'm pretty sure the solution is embarassingly simple.
Kind regards,
Rufus
P.S.: Here go the relevant parts of Xorg.0.log. To my untrained eye, Xorg seems to see two graphics chips:

When you say 'screen' you mean a TFT-LCD with a VGA input?
VGA and DVI are not directly compatible, your desktop would have to scale down to accomodate the resolution limitations TVs have.
Reading the log, the intel driver sees just one graphics chip, but two displays. Knowing what board you have, I don't see it driving two displays. That's a driver and/or display issue.
It's possible the display is sending two conflicting sets of information about itself, in which case you'd have to tell X and the intel driver to ignore the EDID signal and set properties manually.
I imagine all four points are derived from the same error.

Hi there!
Not exactly. My TFT-LCD has two inputs: VGA and DVI. By now, I think my problem is similar to Kernel activates LVDS.... Now I'll only have to figure out how to pass the mentioned kernel option to burg (aka grub2). But this will be the topic of another thread.

OK, it turned out rather easy, I'll write it down here for the record:
simply add
video=LVDS-1:dto the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=in /etc/default/burg and run the command specified at the top of this file (IIRC, it's "burg-mkconfig -o /boot/burg/burg.cfg"; cf. http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/Manu … #Configure)
This definitely solves issue 1 and 3. Issue 2 *seems* to be solved, issue 4 will need further testing (since it was erratic to begin with)
