SB> new 42 - http://sprunge.us/LASN Looking at that, I may have misread the previous log. In any case, that log shows: [ 40.880] (II) intel(0): Output LVDS1 using initial mode 1366x768 [ 40.880] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 using initial mode 1920x1080 ... [ 40.883] (II) intel(0): Allocated new frame buffer 1920x1080 stride 7680, tiled and: [ 40.880] (**) intel(0): DPI set to (52, 52) 52 dpi at 1920x1080 is 42 inches. There is also: [ 40.891] (WW) intel(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used so it didn't need that to do 1080p on the tv. This log shows hdmi2 connected to a tv which has manufacturer MEI, which is Panasonic. I forget already whether the Panasonic was new or old. If so, maybe the bluris the opposite of what I earlier presumed. Is the system trying to mirror the internal display on the tv? If so, and if it keeps the tv in its native 1080p, then it would have to use the gpu to scale the 1366x768 to 1920x1080. Perhaps the old 42 was receiving 1366x768 and doing a better job scaling that than the gpu does? Setting the external, eg, leftOf the internal ought to avoid that. As should disabling the interal when the external is connected. But it looks like the panasonic is working as it should. Oh, and look in a magnifying glass at the 42's pixels. Many at that size use bayer pattern sub-pixels. Avoid sub-pixel fonts at all costs on such a display. Plain grayscale anti-aliasing is fine; sub-pixel is NOT. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
