Hi,
I have downloaded Porteus 4.0 to use it on the Igel 's computer with VIA hardware.
VIA Technologies, Inc. VX900 Graphics
Screen Fujitsu l19t-1
Size 1368*768
But I noticed a bug with Xorg that:
-Distort Desktop display at 45° for rectangular screen
-Distord opened windows
-Distort panels, icons and menu
No problem with square screen Same computer.
This is a bug because it is a regression: last porteus it worked perfect was 3.2.2 with same computer, same screen, and bug occure since Porteus 4.0
I have never used external neither restricted driver for this computer
Bad environment display
Correct mouse cursor in front of display
this big doesn't impact mouse cursor, neither mouse driving: the I stay Vertical for exemple. thus more the mouse is down, more its offset increase in X from the grafic environnement
Consol stay displayed perfect when we do ctrl alt fx
How to reproduce:
1) Install porteus 4.0 on usb. I have choosen 4.0 X86-64 xfce
2) boot the fresh install with the option always fresh
3) as soon as grafic environnement is loaded: it is redriving 45° instead of vertical sizes of screen
this s the startup movie

How to know if it is xorg's bug and not xfce: boot with the option always fresh and add noload=xfce. Log as root and startX. then right click on X environment.
Here are logs:

Hi, i am afraid because I have no news.
With porteus 4.0, my screen take 3 pixel more offset per line: how to temove offset please?
The command xvidtune is missing so I cannot calibrate my monitor's resolution.

Is your machine capable of running a live OS from a CD or from a DVD?
Due to the known capabilities in hardware debugging, I recommend you start your machine with a different Linux - with the most recent Knoppix.

Hopefully this gives you more info about the possible reason for Porteus 4.0 acting this weird.

Hi, unfortunately this computer doesn't have any cd reader.
But with any other linux it will fail because of tiny ram size 1go.
However with this other Linux ( porteus Linux 3.2.2) this bug never occurred. With same monitor. Same igel ( via technology)
With porteus Linux with dell square monitor I have no problems.
With lg monitors I get black screen
Cheers.

To cure your 45 degree screen, if you can open up a terminal, or possibly a virtual terminal to make it easier, (ctrl-alt-f2), try resetting it back to normal with:
You'll have to type on a slant, or perhaps type in the blind, but if it works, reboot and see if that fixed a stuck bit. You don't have to be root, a normal user can execute this.
Note that there is no "e" in the command. I always get bit by trying to issue xrander
If the command works, but does not survive a reboot, perhaps put
xrandr -o normal
in your rc.local file. I just tried it for kicks, using 'left' and 'right' too, and emulated an old Alto computer....
Code: Select all
xrandr -o normal

That's a UNIX book - cool. -Garth
