Eizo EV2316W: xrandr settings

Setting up Eizo Flexscan EV2316W LCD Monitor under Linux with xrandr

Using OpenSuse 11.4 and a DELL d820 laptop.

The monitor supports a max pixel clock of 148.50:

# xrandr --newmode "1920x1080"  148.50  1920 2008 2052 2200  1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync
# xrandr --addmode VGA 1920x1080

# xrandr --output LVDS --off
# xrandr --output VGA --mode 1920x1080


If you are using KDE4 you may experiment a "mouse disappear" problem after changing screen resolution as shown; the only workaroud I found is the following (needs sudo):

# sudo /bin/chvt 1; sudo /bin/chvt 7

Here below a script for automating this:



#!/bin/bash
function VGAConnected {
    ! xrandr | grep "^VGA" | grep disconnected
}

stillthere=`xrandr | grep 1920x1080`
if [ "x$stillthere" = "x" ]
then
  xrandr --newmode "1920x1080"  148.50  1920 2008 2052 2200  1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync
  xrandr --addmode VGA 1920x1080
fi

if VGAConnected
then
  xrandr --output LVDS --off
  xrandr --output VGA --mode 1920x1080
  
  # workaround for mouse disappear (needs sudo)
  sudo /bin/chvt 1; sudo /bin/chvt 7
else
  xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050 --primary --same-as VGA --output VGA --off
fi
