 Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2006 10:02 am Post subject: Can't use X shorcut keys to change resolution [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
I must be missing something obvious, but on my quite new Gentoo installation the CTRL+ATL+Keybad plus / minus shortcut keys are not working for some reason. Is this a bug, has this feature been removed, or what? I am able to change my resolution by running xvidtune, just the shorcut keys aren't working 
EDIT: the problem has solved itself as mysteriously as it appeared
I'm using xorg-x11-7.0-r1 and ATI fglrx drivers (8.27.10-r1). I've tried:
- the Open Source 'radeon' drivers,
- older fglrx drivers
- running 'xvidtune -unlock'
- Adding entries to ServerFlags in xorg.conf
But none of these had no effect
Here's my corg.conf, in case anyone spots anything I didn't. Note that originally I did not have the Option "DisableVidModeExtension" "false", Option "DontZoom" "false" or Section "ServerFlags" at all for that matter, I added them when trying to enable this feature:

Also, for some reason xev isn't outputting anything when I press CTRL+ALT+kpad minus/plus for the minus / plus key, but that's just because xorg server is trapping that keypress as it should - it just isn't changing the resolution - right? Here's the output of xev when I press CTRL+ATL+kpab - / +:

I can also post my Xorg log, but I haven't found any clues there
Any help would be appreciated, as there are situations when I miss this feature!

bumb'eing, and...
I was able to "fix" this by adding entries to 'xvidtune -next' and 'xvidtune -prev' into KDE menu, and adding KDE shortcut keys to those (CTRL+SHIFT+"+"/"-"). Still, I think there should be a real fix somewhere... am I really the only one using this feature, or the only one experiencing this problem?
Also, despite changing Option "DontZoom" to "true", xev didn't get the event of CTRL+ALT+"+" or CTRL+ALT+"-", that's why I needed to use a different shortcut.

You're not the only one.
My setup is somewhat different though: I'm using Xorg 7.1 and the proprietary Nvidia drivers, also my keyboard is configured as an evdev device. Strange! |

At some point, probably during some upgrade, the shortcut keys started to work again, as mysteriously as they stopped.
There's still some slight weirdiness - at first I needed to use ALT_GR (normal ALT didn't work), but now it's the opposite - ALT_GR doesn't work (I think both ALTs are supposed to work). But it's quite OK functionally this way
