Re: Driver (i810) ignores modeline directives in Config File
Hi, I am sorry, but my problem remains unsolved. Alain Poirer´s 855resolution patch does not solve my problem. I have a Compal CY27 laptop with the 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) (lspci output). Even though the BIOS allow me to change the memory allocated to video (32M right now), Xfree only see two built in modes: (**) I810(0): *Built-in mode 800x600 (**) I810(0): *Built-in mode 640x480 I already tried to replace the 800x600 mode by 1024x768 using Poirer's 855resolution , but it does not work (Yes, I included a 1024x768 modeline in the X config file). I loose the (replaced) 800x600 mode, and can not get (the new) 1024x768 mode, ending only with (old) 640x480 mode. After patching, XFree only finds one Built-in mode, 640x480. Why XFree only finds two Built-in modes before patching (while WindowsXP and a commercial X server, Xi Graphics, both can reach 1024x768)? Why it only finds the old 640x480 mode after patching? What happens to the new (patched) 1024x768 mode? Thanks. Regards, Sergio Tim Roberts wrote: I'm not sure what you're complaining about.

That's because the i810-driver has to use the video BIOS to set a video mode (i.e. resolution and color depth) because there is no publicly available documentation on how to set modes bypassing the BIOS. So only video modes known to the BIOS can be set. For the i855-chipset there is a utility called 855resolution to add custom video modes to the video BIOS. Maybe it'll work with i865, too: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/ CU Christian -- Christian Zietz - CHZ-Soft - [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/ PGP-Key auf Anfrage oder ueber http://www.keyserver.net/ ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Are there changes in Xfree, that only the built in can be used ? Hello, I had a problem with my laptop (a DELL 510m with a 1400x1050 screen and the i855 chip). It seems that the i810 XFree driver can *only* use the video resolutions which are listed into the BIOS. In my case, there was not the 1400x1050 mode (due to a bug of Dell BIOS), so I could only use the 1280x1024 mode. I think you could have the same problem : (II) I810(0): Not using mode 1152x864 (no mode of this name) From the i810 man page : The driver makes use of the video BIOS to program video modes for the 830M and later. This limits the video modes that can be used to those provided by the video BIOS, and to those that will fit into the amount of video memory that the video BIOS is aware of. With my laptop, I solved this problem using the 855resolution patch from Alain Poirier (many thanks to him) which add a mode in the BIOS list, so XFree is aware of it : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/ -- Erwann ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
