I've been looking into this for a couple of evenings now, patching xserver-xorg-video-vmware to find out where and why 1920x1080 mode is disappearning. Turns out I've been looking in the wrong place, since 1920x1080 is simply never there. Digging where these modes are really coming from I found a builtin mode list is in the kernel, see:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_kms.c It's interesting that even latest Linux 3.10 doesn't have 1920x1080 in there! Could someone push for this extremely common mode to be included in the kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/969154/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
