I'm afraid specifying modelines isn't much help. If I do for 8bpp I get
to scroll through the different resolutions. If I do for 16bpp I only
get to scroll (<ctrl><alt><Numpad plus> through 640x480.
No, I've configured X on three other boxes by editing the XF86Config
file and this thing has me befuddled. It isn't terribly good that I have
to boot into the development kernel to get agpgart to work for the
i855gm, where unfortunately my onboard ethernet driver is
non-functional. Too many fronts in this war.
I know it's capable because the log file lists a bunch of different
possible modes, like this:
*Mode: 30 (640x480)
XResolution: 640
YResolution: 480
<SNIPPED>
BitsPerPixel: 8
<SNIPPED>
*Mode: 32 (800x600)
XResolution: 800
YResolution: 600
<SNIPPED>
BitsPerPixel: 8
<SNIPPED>
*Mode: 34 (1024x768)
<SNIPPED>
*Mode: 38 (1280x1024)
<SNIPPED>
*Mode: 45 (1024x768)
XResolution: 1024
YResolution: 768
<SNIPPED>
BitsPerPixel: 16
<SNIPPED>
Mode: 54 (1024x768)
XResolution: 1024
YResolution: 768
<SNIPPED>
BitsPerPixel: 32
<SNIPPED>
Mode: 7c (1024x600)
XResolution: 1024
YResolution: 600
<SNIPPED>
BitsPerPixel: 8
<SNIPPED>
