Hi, System: Development (B)LFS i686-pc-linux-gnu, 2.6.33.1, GRUB: 0.97 Motherboard: ASUS P5E-VM HDMI Internal Graphics Display (IGD): Intel G35, HDMI output External Video Card (PEG): ASUS GeForce 9500GT, PCIe x16, HDMI output Monitor: Samsung SM2494, Wide (16:9), DVI input (through HDMI-DVI cable)
General: I always boot in text mode (to console "prompt") first. 1. So far, with the IGD no problems: the kernel boot-up text, console prompt work, vi editing, etc., the text is displayed in HD, i.e., for the whole length of the screen (as 80x24) 2. I installed the new PEG (9500). Problem: The text is displayed in "narrow" (SD), 4:3 fashion i.e., using only the "4" of the horizontal (instead of the full "16"). I haven't found anything (BIOS - PEG/PCI, etc.) to change the situation. One would expect that by just moving the cable from the IGD output to the PEG output, things wouldn't change text(VGA?)-wise. Notes: 1. To avoid any confusion, the card (PEG) works fine once in graphics mode (Xorg-7.5, NVidia "nvidia" 195.36.15 latest driver; "nv" doesn't work). 2. I didn't make any effort in the original configuration (i.e., the IGD) in order to make the text go wide, when I changed from a 4:3 monitor to this one. The "widening" of the text just happened. Any helpful comments will be highly appreciated.
