Dear Andreas, I have tested 304.88 and am currently using 310.19-0, and everything stays the same: I just got used to fiddle with the ViewPortIn and Panning values to get the required resolution on the internal screen, and I had to do some nitty gritty tricks to supersed the driver's now strict checks on EDID, that prevent it to work with overhead projectors connected through long VGA cables :-(
Unfortunately, this is really an upstream change, apparently, and I believe Debian cannot do anything about it, so it's fine to close the bug, and I apologize for the noise. -- Roberto On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 03:16:04PM +0200, Andreas Beckmann wrote: > On 2012-11-25 12:00, Roberto Di Cosmo wrote: > > After careful investigation, this issue comes from > > an upstream design decision in the 3xx driver series. > > > > In this new series of the NVidia driver, for reasons > > that completely escape my understanding, the user > > is directly exposed to the (powerful) details of > > the inner working of the GPU pipeline, like > > RasterSize, ViewPortIn, ViewPortOut etc. See > [...] > > Did not find out how to do the same using xrandr yet. > > > > A good tutorial on how to get the basic old functionality > > with these new features would be a big plus. > > No idea :-( > > Has anything "improved" with the more recent drivers? > 304.88 in wheezy > 304.108 in wheezy-backports and testing > 319.60 in unstable > 325.15 in experimental? > > What should we do with this bug report? > > > Andreas > -- Roberto Di Cosmo ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professeur En delegation a l'INRIA PPS E-mail: robe...@dicosmo.org Universite Paris Diderot WWW : http://www.dicosmo.org Case 7014 Tel : ++33-(0)1-57 27 92 20 5, Rue Thomas Mann F-75205 Paris Cedex 13 Identica: http://identi.ca/rdicosmo FRANCE.
