As discussed in this thread [1], monitor-probe-using-X is broken because X does not recognise the -probeonly option anyway (and as usual, gives somewhat verbose error messages...). # monitor-probe-using-X intel [...] (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Unrecognized option: -probeonly (EE) (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://bugs.mageia.org for help. (EE) X probe failed It looks like upstream dropped support for -probeonly and the rest of the PCI-related code 6 years ago [2], so I guess monitor-probe-using-X has always been broken in Mageia. I haven't studied the code, but judging by the script name I guess that monitor-probe-using-X is just obsolete nowadays, so we should probably drop it. -- [1] https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2015-05/msg00231.html [2] http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-July/001504.html Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

commit c1e6181d4a72e1eaec4b636b51c2b44e5cedbd92 Author: Rémi Verschelde <rverschelde@...> Date: Sat May 9 20:16:17 2015 +0200 Use monitor-edid directly instead of monitor-probe monitor-probe falls back to monitor-probe-using-X which is broken since X dropped its -probeonly switch (mga#15896) The logic used in mga-bg-res to parse the resolution was probably not adapted to the expected output from monitor-probe-using-X anyway. --- Commit Link: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/design/theme/commit/?id=c1e6181d4a72e1eaec4b636b51c2b44e5cedbd92

@Thierry: I think we can obsolete monitor-probe-using-X?
