Description kiltharan 2005-03-17 12:22:29 UTC

When 'Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT"' is commented (not used), xorg refuses to   
set the resolution to 1600x1200, even though the correct modeline is specified   
and only one resolution is defined below the screen section. I just get a max.   
resolution of 1280x1024.    
Uncommenting 'Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT"' does the trick, I do get my desired   
resolution/refresh rate, however, no scalable video playback is possible,  
especially not using xv any more.   
xine, mplayer, vlc, does not matter. With mplayer, playback through x11 works,  
but does not scale. Commenting MonitorLayout again and all videoplayback is 
fine, but the resolution ...  
This behaviour is new to 6.8.x and did not exist with 6.7.0.   
   
Monitor is an NEC1375x, which is correctly detected asides the HorizSync value,   
however, albeit CRT, it has an DVI-D input, which is connetcted to the analog   
output of the Radeon 8500LE and this may explain the need for MonitorLayerout   
CRT

Depending on which crtc is sourced to the output the overlay might be assigned
to the other one.  you can switch the overlay crtc using the XV_SWITCH_CRTC Xv
attribute using a tool like xvattr.  Could you also attach your log and config?

Hello,   
   
first, thanks for taking on this. Now I had a chance to test with an radeon 
9700 card, which shows the same behaviour. The attached logs are from that 9700 
card. However, I will gladly be providing the other settings for the radeon8500 
as well, if helpful.     
Without that CRT option, I only get 1280x1024 and all modelines are ignored,   
but videoplayback is fine, with Option CRT the playbackwindow remains black    
when using xv, but resolution and refreshrate are as desired.    
    
According to your comment, I am not sure I understand what you are saying, but 
below ist some xvattr info 
 
The output of xvattr (without options):

Comment 6 kiltharan 2005-03-23 12:29:46 UTC

Addition: When running without Minotorlayout CRT and therefore working 
videoplayback, the output of xvattr does not vary too much.  
 
xvattr -a XV_SWITCH_CRTC 
Found Xv 2.2 
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Comment 7 T. Hood 2005-09-26 07:04:37 UTC

With "MonitorLayout CRT" and 1280x1024 dimension, does xv work?

As you can see above, the name of the attribute is XV_SWITCHCRT.
