xrandr invalid parameter attributes

[BillGradwohl]

Searched bugzilla and this site with no relevant hits.

On an ASUS Eee PC with a fully patched F15 installation, I'm trying to set up a resolution (1152 x 864 @ 65) that Windows 7 successfully uses on this machine.

root@bakery2 ~# gtf 1152 864 65|grep Modeline|cut -d\" -f3
89.56 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 897 -HSync +Vsync

root@bakery2 ~# xrandr --newmode xxxx 89.56 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 897 -HSync +Vsync

root@bakery2 ~# xrandr --addmode LVDS1 xxxx
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 148 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 25
Current serial number in output stream: 26

Nothing I do and no resolution I try gets past this invalid parameter attributes error.

Using cvt instead of gtf gives slightly different numbers, but the end result is the same. Nothing ever works.

Anyone have an idea why?

Anyone have a way of doing this manually - bypassing xrandr?

What does xrandr -q report? Different displays and GPU's report different values from one another. See Appendix A near bottom of page below.

Those items seem to revolve around second monitors and more exotic things than what I want to accomplish.

All I want to do is to get the maximum resolution the netbook can provide. Windows 7 came on the box and offers better screen resolution than the 1024x600 that Fedora defaults to.

The error message is undecipherable as far as I'm concerned. I have no idea what exactly its complaining about, and as no resolution I've tried ever works, I suspect xrandr is simply broken.

I have the exact same objective, in the same context and getting the same issue. How can I associate a custom resolution via xrandr to my LVDS display without the errors reported by BillGradwohl?

Only difference:

Major opcode of failed request: 149 (RANDR)

I have a similar problem. How come this is marked as solved?

[Ranzboulette]

Same story here...Any suggestions?

[BillGradwohl]

This problem is marked solved by mistake.

ADMIN - Can you please change it to needing attention, as it is definitely not solved.

I probably hit the wrong button when I created this thread, but I can't seem to find a way to correct it myself.


PLEASE HELP.

I asked on the x.org mailing list. No replies as yet, so I might report it as a bug.

Edit: I forgot that the original bug on this thread is a bit different to mine, I've no idea whether they're related or not. Here's the bug report anyway:

I have the exact same issue running Zorin on an EEEPC. The topic says solved but I certainly can not find a solution.

Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 25
Current serial number in output stream: 26

I know the original post was trying to get (1152 x 864 @ 65), I personally just wanted to get entire windows to display, a lot of items were cut off on the bottom. I found a tray application that runs in Zorin, called Jupiter that allows several tweaks including modifying resolution to 1024x768. As far s I can tell it should also run in Fedora.

[BillGradwohl]

I created this thread and its probably my fault that its marked solved. I most likely hit a button to state that.

Having a utility that can goose up the resolution is OK, but the real issue is that under Windows, I can get it to display at its maximum resolution but can't get the same from Linux/Fedora.

The folks responsible for xrandr need to update their table of capabilities to show that these little boxes can indeed go to a much higher resolution. That's what I'm really asking for via this thread.

FWIW I tried this on my 1080p HDMI connected monitor with no problems. I used my gtf numbers of course.

Something really doesn't like the numbers supplied by gtf. I *suggest* you TRY to slow down the refresh rate from 65hz to say 50hz. This should give gtf a lot of timing latitude
