Xorg "vergisst" nach Suspend höchste Auflösung von externem Monitor

15. April 2024

Unter Ubuntu 22.04 mit Xorg 1.21.1.4 trat nach dem Rückkehr aus dem Stromsparmodus bei externen Monitoren immer mal wieder das Problem auf, dass die höchste Auflösung von 1920×1080 auf einmal „vergessen“ wurde. Stattdessen war das Display auf 1680×1050 eingestellt und lediglich ein Neustart oder manchmal auch ein ab- und wieder abstöpseln des Monitors brachte die Auflösung zurück.

Wirkliche Fehlermeldungen dafür oder Erklärungen fanden sich nicht. Der eine Monitor startete als modeset(0): Output HDMI-1 using initial mode 1920x1080 +1920+0 direkt am HDMI-Port und der andere als modeset(0): Output DP-1 using initial mode 1920x1080 +3840+0 an einem externen Hub.

In den Weiten des Internets fanden sich jedoch immer wieder Hinweise darauf, dass dem Xorg-Server einfach Monitordaten in die Konfiguration geschrieben werden sollten, da die automatisch ausgelesenen EDID (Extended display identification data) fehlerhaft seien. Wirklich belegen ließ sich die These nicht, da auch nach dem Aufwachen des Monitors und einem testweisen Auslesen der EDID diese offenbar in Ordnung waren.

Zum Auslesen der EDID muss read-edid am besten gleich noch mit edid-decode und den i2c-tools mittels apt install read-edid edid-decode i2c-tools installiert werden. Danach lässt sich mit sudo get-edid | parse-edid der erste findbare Monitor auslesen.

This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun.

Pass a bus number as an option to this program to go only for that one.
Bus 0 doesn't really have an EDID...

Looks like i2c was successful. Have a good day.

In diesem Falle wäre es der Monitor, der direkt am HDMI-Anschluss ist. Im vorliegenden Fall gibt es jedoch noch einen Monitor an einem externen USB-C-Hub, der zwar auch per HDMI angeschlossen ist, aber eben nicht der erste EDID-Monitor ist.

In obigem Ausdruck findet sich der Hinweis auf potenziell andere Anschlüsse 4 potential busses found: 0 4 12 13, die man einzeln durchgehen kann, bis der richtige Monitor gefunden ist. sudo i2cdetect -l listet insgesamt folgende Anschlüsse auf.

sudo get-edid -b 0 | parse-edid führt nicht zum Ziel.

Bus 0 doesn't really have an EDID...
Couldn't find an accessible EDID on this bus.
...

Aber unter der „4“ findet sich nach dem Aufruf von sudo get-edid -b 4 | parse-edid dann der gesuchte Monitor.

This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun.
