Description Davy Defaud 2016-12-28 20:31:06 CET

I just bought a brand new Ultra-wide 21:9 LG 25UM58 monitor for my son.
Even on a Cauldron update, the monitor isnât recognized by drakx11 (and not found manually in the loooong list of LG monitors), nor is auto-detected in its plain definition as a plugân play generic 2560Ã1080 monitor, and it falls back to full-HD. Drakx11 doesnât even seem to support such 21:9 ratios (but only 4:3, 16:10 and 16:9).

It seems that 21:9 ratio definitions are not very well supported by X.org, at least by default in Mageia, even with NVIDIA proprietary graphic drivers.

It could be a limitation of the hardware (GeForce 9300 GE thru an HDMI port), but I donât think so.

I tried to generate a specific Modeline with this recipe Iâve found on the Net:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/138408/how-to-add-display-resolution-fo-an-lcd-in-ubuntu-12-04-xrandr-problem
Generating this:

EndSection

But still no success for nowâ¦

Changing the component to RPM packages, because I think it's not an installer bug.

Not sure whether there's a bug in a driver or Xorg package that needs to be fixed for XFdrake to be able to handle the 21:9 ratio

Probably due to the graphic board HDMI version limitations. I close this bug because I suspect it’s not fixable…
