Package: x11-xserver-utils Version: 7.5+1+b1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xrandr
This is on an Asus EeePC 900, with the following video hardware: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04) It has a built-in 1024x600 screen. I normally have a 1280x1024 external LCD monitor on the VGA port, which i usually set up with: xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS1 However, I was experimenting with panning, and now the above command fails with the following message: 0 d...@pip:~$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS1 xrandr: Configure crtc 1 invalid time 1 d...@pip:~$ To get it to work as expected, i need to explicitly turn panning off and then try again: 0 d...@pip:~$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --panning 0x0 --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS1 0 d...@pip:~$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS1 0 d...@pip:~$ After the first command (with --panning 0x0), LVDS1 was still showing as though it was --same-as VGA1. I had to run the second command to make the --above actually take effect. So there is some weird persistent panning interaction going on. and at the very least, the error messages could be improved.
