Hello,
I've updated from 3.8.2.slh2 to 3.8.2.slh4. After update:
- text console (without X running) is 1024x768 (it should be 1280x800)
- X servers starts with 1024z768 resolution also. It can be changed to correct 1280x800, but kdm is starting at 1024x768
There are no any problems with kernel 3.8.2.slh2. My card is:
Code:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
Please fix this, because your latest kernel build is not usable - every time I login to kde, I'm forced to change resolution to 1280x800 by hand, it's not acceptable. |

Confirming same behavior on Xfce with GDM3. Laptop has native 1280x800 resolution. GDM3 starts at 1024x768. After user logs in, display switches to 1280x800 but leaves switching cruft (conky in the wrong palace, open windows in wrong places, corrupted background image.)
Code:
lspci | grep Display
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
uname --all
Linux sam 3.8-2.slh.4-aptosid-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 12 01:29:20 UTC 2013 i686 GNU/Linux

Hello,
I found solution. The simplest thing is avoid to use aptosid kernels, sinse they seems to be broken starting from slh4. Instead of aptosid, I use this kernel:
Code:
SMP Debian 3.8.2-1~experimental.1 x86_64
This is most recent 3.8.2 and not broken. It can be installed from debian repositories. |

| I am not seeing this with nvidia (GTS 450, 7900, 6100) or ati (9600), perhaps this is a problem with Intel video cards, I can't test, cause I don't own. |

You are definitely wrong. This is not xorg issue - xorg works fine. Problem is text console size, which is always 1024x768.
You probably misunderstanded what's the problem. Imagine this: after kernel boots, all booting messages starting to display on 1024x768 console. I've tried to setup something with grub command line, but without success - no matter what I do, all virtual terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F1-F has 1024x768 instead of 1280x800.
When X starting, it reads this size somehow and resolution is automatically set to 1024x768 as well, it can be changed via kde screen settings.
I don't have any xorg.conf, maybe creating xorg.conf and setting 1280x800 there can be temprary workaround, but still problem is not solved.
Problem seems to be related to intel kernel module or intel framebuffer, not X, sorry. And, not all intel cards are affected. But as you can see, I'm not only one who has the same issue. |

Code:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ro quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
3.8.2 SLH4 and SLH5 (amd64) have this issue, I haven't tested your 3.8.3 build yet. |

giaur,
What if you try adding the grub option in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x800
(right after the GRUB_GFXMODE) and then save, update-grub and reboot? |

This is the result on 3.8.3.slh1:
As you can see, still 1024x768. No X server running. |

I would take "splash" off from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
If problems are still present, then I'd add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep" |
