I've got a Dell Latitude C610 with the ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M6 [LY] card and 16MB of video memory. I've been trying to get the ati driver in XFree86 4.2.1 (I'm running Sarge) to display at 1280x1024 on my external 19" monitor, but it will only display at 1024x768.
I have VESA FB compiled into my 2.4.21 kernel, and when I use the vesa driver in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file along with the UseFBDev option set to "true", I get the 1280x1024. When I use the ati driver, and the UseFBDev option set to true, I get an error stating that there are unresolved symbols in the radeon i2c module, and X crashes. When I use the ati driver without the UseFBDev option, the i2c module loads fine, and I get 1024x768. In the /var/log/XFree86.log file, I see that vesa is detected and that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a supported VESA mode and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a future supported mode. I'm thinking that the refresh rate might be an issue, but I don't know enough about it to tell. Can anyone help me understand this issue? thanks, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
