[XPS M1330] HDMI port being configured instead of LCD

See attached screenshot

Installing Gutsy 9/21 image displays taskbars extended to the end of the screen, but max resolution is 1024 x 768. Output of "xrandr":

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right)
LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 287mm x 180mm
   1024x768 60.0*+
   1280x800 60.0 + 60.0
   1280x768 60.0
   800x600 60.3
   640x480 59.9
TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right)
TV connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm

   800x600 30.0
   848x480 30.0
   640x480 30.0

Running "xrandr --output TV --off" allows me to change resolution to 1280x1024 (native resolution on XPS 1330).

Video card information:

Gotta have this working without workaround.

Perhaps try this?

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier "TV"
       Option "Ignore" "True"
EndSection

Section "Device"
       Identifier "MonitorTV"
       Option "monitor-TV" "TV"
EndSection

Bryce:

Your suggestion did not work. I get a black screen. Attaching /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Attach your xorg.conf and lspci -vvnn as well. (You should always include these when reporting bugs.)

Bryce:

Here's my xorg.conf

And here's the output of lspci -vvnn

should this be taken upstream? It's marked as private though..

also, this is the same as bug #136783, but it's with intel.

Hi Jose, can you please test this package for me? It should provide the fix you require.

The reason the panel is mis-sized, is, exactly as you point out, because the TV defaulted to cloning the primary display, and gnome-panel only grows to the size of the smallest display (so you can see the whole of it when it's cloned across several resolutions.)

Kyle,

This deb worked for me. I installed it and ran 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', started gdm, and I got the native resolution 1280 x 800, which I had not been able to get before.

Kyle,

It appears that my HDMI port is disabled, not even recognized. How do I enable it in case I want to use it?

Here's the output from 'xrandr":

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right)
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 287mm x 180mm
   1280x800 60.0*+ 60.0
   1280x768 60.0
   1024x768 60.0
   800x600 60.3
   640x480 59.9
TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right)

Attached is my latest /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Kyle uploaded to archive and pushed upstream.

Hi Jose,

Thanks for testing, I'm glad it fixed your panel sizing issues.

Two things -- "TV out" is a bit of a misnomer. It means the SVideo/analog style TVout connectors, which as I'm led to believe, the XPS 1330 doesn't have.

The HDMI protocol is very similar to DVI, and as such would be connected to the TMDS-1 transmitter, like any other DVI device would be. I'm not sure if it is actually expected to work in the intel driver at the moment, but you should be able to find out if you mess with the "TMDS-1" port with xrandr.

Sorry I can't be much more help, I don't have a laptop with a HDMI port to mess around with.

Regards,
  Kyle

Hi Tim,

I think you may have the wrong notification email address? I haven't ever
had a Dell XPS machine and this bug is unfamiliar to me...
