Subject: New driver causes enlightenment to resize display to 8x8?
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:27:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150427142720.GC32301@merlins.org> (raw)

After upgrading to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917-1~exp1 , the
performance did improve, but twice, I had e18 crash (its fault, not X's
fault), give me a window that it was going to restart, and when it restarted
the screen went dark.

I went to a text console, and xrandr said this:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 8 x 8, maximum 32767 x 32767

xrandr -s anything, including 800x600 said:
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

Restarting X reset things, and I had to delete my enlightenment profile
for it to stop trying to resize to 8x8 on start.

I've used e18 for over a year and I never had this problem until the exact
moment I upgraded the intel driver.
Out of curiosity, even if the bug was with enlightenment, how do I resize
my screen once it's been mistakenly resized to 8x8. Is it a bug that xrandr
was unable to resize it for me?

Thanks,
Marc
