It does not boot into the proper mode. I pass the following to grub to
attempt to boot to 720p:
vmalloc=256m video=intelfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED],noaccel,vram=8 vga=0x31b
The vmalloc is necessary otherwise the intelfb driver can't allocate
the space it needs.
The resolution passed to intelfb is 720p, however after boot the
framebuffer is in 1280x800, for some reason.
I turn off intelfb accel because the accel crashes the linux kernel
every time, and often times reboots the computer. It must be doing
something particularly nasty with the hardware.
The vga parameter is there because according to every online doc I
have read (and my own experiments), intelfb can't get initial mode
changing without it. Notice there is no vga parameter that is 720p, I
wonder if this is an issue.
Ultimately, I used some x.org modeline calculators and ended up with
an fb.modes that contains only the following:
mode "1280x720-60"
# D: 77.68 MHz, 46.02 kHz, 60.00 Hz
geometry 1280 720 1280 720 16
timings 12873 32 32 15 15 280 7
endmode
After I boot into the 1200x800 mode, I run:
# fbset 1280x720-60
And then the console looks messed up, specifically the image looks
like the fb memory isn't lining up properly, the image looks
interlaced. I then run the same command again, and it looks better and
the monitor reports that it is receiving a 720p image. However, this
720p image is extremely bright, the black console looks grey. If I
then use DFBSee to play a clip, it outputs to 720p, once again
extremely bright. So things are sort of working, with a bit of
workarounds.

If I delete it, wouldn't I be left in 1280x800 which is set at boot
time (for a reason that I can't understand).
When specifically does the fb.modes come into play? Does the DFBSee
program read it, or does DirectFB touch it directly or somewhere all
together different?
Thanks for the help,
Jon
