Call for testing: 4K displays and/or resolution scaling on X11 (especially AMD adapters)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi folks!

We have a proposed F32 blocker bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809717

which reports issues with 4K displays when using X11 (not Wayland).
Initial indications suggest this may be specific to AMD graphics
adapters: the reporter has an AMD adapter, and a couple of our team in
Brno have been able to reproduce issues on an AMD adapter but not an
Intel adapter. It's also suggested that the issue might actually be in
display scaling (which is used on small high-resolution displays by
default, hence the association with 4K, but can be enabled on any
display for testing).

So, to help us figure out the shape of this bug, can we ask folks to
test on whatever hardware you have available? The actual bug is that
only 1/2 or 1/4 of the display is lit up, the rest of it is black, like
in this image:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1667282

1. Run a GNOME-on-Wayland session, and see if the bug happens:
1. a) out-of-the-box
1. b) with display scaling manually enabled if it was not auto-enabled
(go to 'Displays' and change the 'Scale' setting to 200% if it is at
100% by default; you may have to log out and back in after changing the
setting, not sure)

2. Run a GNOME-on-X11 session, and see if the bug happens:
2. a) out-of-the-box
2. b) with display scaling manually enabled if it was not auto-enabled
(go to 'Displays' and change the 'Scale' setting to 200% if it is at
100% by default; you may have to log out and back in after changing the
setting, not sure)

3. Run a KDE-on-X11 session, and see if the bug happens:
3. a) out-of-the-box
3. b) with display scaling manually enabled if it was not auto-
enabled (go to 'Display Configuration' and change 'Global scale' to
200% , then log out and back in)

Please report back your results with info on the graphics card and
display used for testing. If you do hit the bug, you can also add a
comment to the bug report noting which configuration(s) produced the
bug and including the same info on the graphics card and display used.
Thanks very much!
