Comment 12 for bug 48289

Here is another data point. I just bought a new monitor, HP LP2465, The
screen on this new monitor is not offset, either at the original resolution
of 1280x1024 or the new 1920x1200. The old monitor is a Princeton VL1916.
I didn't suspect the monitior because Windows displays correctly and you
can fix it by changing the resolution back and forth in system/preferences.

I can still run some experiments for you as I still have the Princeton
monitor and I saved the old xorg.conf file. It will just go slower than it
would have before I installed the new monitor.

Incidently, I had to edit the xorg.conf file by hand to get the right
Resolution. Isn't there a configuration utility that will probe the
Plug'nplay information for you when you change the monitior? Or read
The .inf file that comes with the windows driver disk?

I did boot into single user mode and ran Xorg -configure, but it didn't
Give me a useful xorg.conf file. The monitor name wasn't found and all
The resolutions were 0.

1/2Icon

Hi Martins,

Hmm, this is quite unusual. by chance have you searched in the xorg bug
tracker at http://freedesktop.org/ to see if someone has already
reported this upstream?

It couldn't hurt to try it with KDE. I'm going to bet it won't make a
difference, but sometimes KDE works differently than GNOME, so it could
be a useful data point. Let me know if you do this.

When I have some time I'll try to do some additional research into this
one. Seems quite odd.

Bryce
