[SOLVED] Screen moved after error in suspension!!

[finestro]

Hi everybody,

I am on Archlinux with a nvidia optimus and bumblebee. Sometimes when I resume from the suspension I get an error and I have to power off my laptop because the screen freezes. This is a big problem but unfortunately now there is another one..

This last time, after I reboot, I found a mess in the screen!

The "screen", has been moved. It has been translated and now in the bottom of the screen it is just black and a small part of the screen that should have been in the right part is located instead in the left part!

My screen should be in this way:

ABCDE
FGHIL
MNOPQ
RSTUV


but instead now is in this way!:

LFGHI
QMNOP
VRSTU
*****

* = black


This problem starts when the KDE logo appears.


Before trying to unistall KDE, xorg or something like that I would prefer another opinion..

Any idea?


Thanks in advance!

By the way, if switch to another console (for example Ctrl-Alt-F1) the screen goes back to the normal mode. The problem is just with the GUI

We had a problem with this thing before in another thread.....let me find it.
He has the Bumblebee and Optimus also. Appaerently there are some settings in the BIOS you can look at to see if it will help you. You might also try sending a private message the the poster in this thread to see if he had the same problem.

Thanks for your answer,

This new problem, the moved screen one, I don't think is related to Bumblebee and Optimus.

Anyway, I will look into that thread to solve the other problem too.

Cheers

Problem is for sure with X, I tried installing Xfce and the problem is still there..

I think you should give the other thread a try, see if it helps you at all. Just remember what you changed so you can change it back if it doesn't help.

Hi,

I looked into it but the problems are not related (IMHO)

Thx anyway

Well, I would guess that you might need to create an xorg.conf file with your settings (resolutions) added to it. Have you seen the second link here?

Thx for the links


I solved removing the xorg.conf file!
