I just updated a TX2 to R32.1 and now observe the following behavior after logging in to the Desktop. After a few seconds on the desktop, the display only shows a small subsection of the screen. Video here shows the behavior well:
It’s like the TX2 decides my monitor is actually 60 px x 40px or something ridiculously small. Any idea what’s going on here? The login screen itself is fine – no issues at all there
Hi,
We didn’t see such issue before. Could you provide the sku of your monitor to us?
Also, could you still ssh to device? Could you reproduce this issue and share the dmesg?
dmesg is here :

First one is from boot to post-login where it zoomed in. Second one is just waking the machine up, logging in, and it jumping immediately to the super-zoomed in view.
The LCD is an 11.6" 1920x1080 touchscreen – originally designed for a laptop, but repackaged by Eleduino into a desktop monitor. They don’t make it anymore (I guess the source of panels dried up). I use it with systems from Compulabs running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS without any issues.
Looks like the pixel clk is correct in the end of your log.
Could you also try other HDMI display?
Could you provide the EDID of your monitor?
I suspect this issue only happens to specific monitor.
How do I get the EDID? I can hook up to another monitor.
sudo -s
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tegradc.0
cat edid

I just tried the TX2 with a Del G2410t – and the exact same thing happens. The login screen is fine, but once I login it goes to “super zoom mode”. I don’t think the issue is with my monitor – it must be a software configuration issue in my user account.
The bizarre this is this TX2 is fresh. I had installed the initial L4T drivers (R28) and everything was fine. Today I used the SDK Manager to install R32.1 and created this user account after the root filesystem flash and before stalling the rest of the JetPack software (also installed by the SDK Manager). No changes have been made to the user account.
Thanks. I think we need to reproduce this issue on our side too.
Unfortunately, I failed to reproduce this issue on my board + monitor.
Are you using our devkit?
I notice your Del G2410t does not have HDMI port. Do you have any monitor that does not need adapter?
Yes, the TX2 showing this issue is a dev kit unit, no other external devices or components have been installed on the NVIDIA carrier.
I don’t have another HDMI input monitor to test with – they are all DVI input.
I think I’ve managed to solve the problem, I installed “ubuntu-unity-desktop” via aptitude and was able to login and have a normal experience after selecting “Ubuntu” as the Desktop Environment (instead of the default “Unity”) – this is under a dropdown menu in the corner of the password field.
I don’t remember seeing this dropdown menu in the original login box, but it might have been there.
Hi,
That is weird. I will keep this issue in my mind and see if other people also hit it.
Generally we report issue to internal team if we find out the cause, but current situation is still not clear.
It might be useful to see what the driver thinks of the modes and what it actually set. If you can would you add this to the “/etc/xorg.conf” file and reboot and then show the log file (“/var/log/Xorg.0.log”). Edit ‘Section “Device”’ and add this:
Option "ModeDebug"
This might not show anything new, but it might also offer a clue.
