At least > the mode numbers and the bits/pixel values are correct. Yes, perhaps the bios structures are not so differents. As you say, the mode structures have the same mode, bits/pixels fields and also length (5 bytes). So, as only 3 bytes left, I don't see how they couldn't be a pointer of some type to the resolution structure.

In fact I don't think they are pointing to nonsensical values : if you look at the L. Jensen's mail, we can see that resolutions stay coherentes. For example the modes 30, 41 and 51, which are all 640x400, are _always_ displayed with the (bogus) resolution of 3856x1536. The pointers for these modes are the same. So, to me, the pointers are correct but the resolution bytes (nibbles in fact) are not the same than on my 510m. To find the resolution byte, I dumped the differents structure for all the possible resolution and look at 1/ where the resolution x and y values, in hexa, could be 2/ how 2 different resolutions structure difer > Another question: May I put a link to the 855resolution page on my > 8x5patch/855wrap web page? Yes. No problem (as I even borrowed your naming scheme ;) Regards _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
