Description Richard Walker 2012-02-23 02:20:40 CET

Description of problem:
After installing a minimal LXDE system from the x86_64 Beta 1 DVD there is no xrandr available to configure the desktop/monitor configuration. It can be installed from the DVD once the missing udisks problem is solved, or using the same workaround of browsing the DVD to find the xrandr rpm and install it from the file manager's context menu (open with Software Installer)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 2 Cauldron Beta 1

How reproducible:
see above and below 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Beta 1 from DVD
2.At package selection, select Custom and Individual package selection
3.Make sure only LXDE and Console/Configuration tools are ticked
4.In individual package selection, check there are no KDE or Gnome packages to
bloat the install.
5.Install the system (less than 5 minutes from DVD!)
6.Configure you desktop monitor layout using your favourite custom xrandr script.

I use this one;
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "1680x1050"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 "1680x1050"
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 1280x0 --rotate normal --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1280x1024 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI-1 --off

lxrandr has a require on xrandr, and lxrandr is as suggest in the task.

So are you sure it was not installed ?

Comment 2 Richard Walker 2012-02-23 20:03:43 CET

I ran my script and it failed with a not found error. I installed xrandr and it worked. To me this means that it was missed in the installation.

I've just checked and lxrandr is not installed either.

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-02-23 20:51:17 CET

ok, indeed I have found why, lxrandr is missing in the iso so nothing require xrandr.

Anne, bcd does not take the suggest ?

Comment 4 Richard Walker 2012-03-04 22:43:50 CET

If lxrandr is now in the iso build then we can close this, is that correct?

Comment 5 Richard Walker 2012-03-24 14:54:33 CET

Sorry for the delay in reporting that the Beta2 iso still exhibits the core problem: choose task-lxde but you don't get xrandr.

Might this be fixed for rc?
