If you look at the similar Ubuntu bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-geode/+bug/433142 ), it appears to finally work for someone with a really minimal xorg.conf that was generated by the GNOME display configuration applet.

This is really strange, but no unheard of. Mozilla products keep on bringing us fascinating corner cases to debug.

Any clue? Can you provide your Xorg.0.log with driver 2.11.9-5? I have not used PanelMode option before on my notebook. I just applied the driver 2.11.9-5 and this resolution(1024x600) works find and fit the whole screen. Please check your Xorg.0.log if 1024x600 is used. By the way, can you check the value of "ret" in function LXGetLegacyPanelMode() in lx_panel.c? Thanks Frank

Le 14/10/2010 11:26, Martin-Éric Racine a écrit : 2010/10/14 Huang, FrankR: Have you tried the latest driver on freedesktop? Just as Martin wrote, I committed a patch(that add an entry of 1024x600 for panel) that can support 1024x600 which will give you the whole screen. That patch has been merged into the Debian package 2.11.9-5 Martin-Éric Upgraded yesterday to 2.11.9-5, no change: => video still disapear at boot, either with or without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file => With and only with xorg.conf, I can get 800x480 resolution if and only if I provide a convenient "PanelMode" line. With this line I can choose between 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 and 800x480 ; without I loose the 800x480. Note any 800x480 pvt tool generated modeline is discarded, and the one I get is computed from PanelMode x device option (see the xorg.conf already posted for the line). Only the first PanelMode options is taken, Trying Option "PanelMode" "48960 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622" Gives me a 1024x600 resolution, but out from the screen about 30% (right and down directions) after further readings, it seems syntax is : "PanelMode" "CLOCK hactive hsyncstart hsyncend htotal vactive vstart vsend vototal" The functional (but video problem at boot time) "copied from ternet" 800x480 PanelMode line is: Option "PanelMode" "33450 800 840 968 1056 480 490 492 525" (Note I cannot access video modes in bios setup (not in any submenu of "F2", I had try other keys without success)) If I use cvt generated Modelines to fill panelmode (with dot clock as integer), I get systematically the same problem excepted for 800x480: Option "PanelMode" "33250 800 832 904 1008 480 483 493 503" => works fine with 70Hz screen refresh. => Video still disappears after several seconds at boot. Conclusions: => I cannot get 1024x600 fit screen, and it is not auto-configurated (still needs PanelMode option). trying vtotal and htotal shorters from xvidtune in PanelMode gives me no result. Any clue? => 800x480 is supported through PanelMode geode driver option => I still have video disappearing (stripes) problem at boot: It may be a hardware failure on my computer item, not to the model (hercules EC-800-H20G/S).

Hope it will work that time. If you still can not get 1024x600, see my copy below from my reply in Ubuntu bug #433142: - phpmonkey, If you can not get 1024x600 still, see below: Another point you need to pay attention is that the default screen resolution for PANEL is set by BIOS. So please check your VBIOS setting for this. The very simple way is that in function LXGetLegacyPanelMode() in lx_panel.c, print the value of ret. So the default will be lx_panel_modes[3]. And my patch will add 1024x600 as item 3. So please notice this. - Wish you good luck!

Just as Martin wrote, I committed a patch(that add an entry of 1024x600 for panel) that can support 1024x600 which will give you the whole screen. [...] Good news! which debian version is the package? Must I wait for it's coming in SID or install from a proper repository / individual package? Must I download the debian package sources then patch and compile (apt-get build-dep ... ; apt-get source ... ; ...)? Finally... Which patch id it is (URL)? I am sorry that this bug trail list is too long that I have not too much to read it, so please give a try and reply. 800x480 is same way to support. But unfortunely, I have no idea now to support them simultaneously. Just use the cvt tool to generate the parameters and replace my patch. Thank to point me on gtf and cvt tools I asked for in a precedent report : I will take a look on that, then report as necessary, even if my laptop woud work out of the box after upgrade. Not for me but others who have not good skills in computing and not my own laptop model... Martin, For geode driver, if the display is panel instead of CRT, there is no EDID to be detected. Our BIOS use a register to select which mode is supported. That is why I have no idea now to support two wide screen modes simultaneously. But I think the user can enjoy the whole screen is the wonderful thing now! The default entry can be set by user when he/she enter the gnome desktop, and select 1024x600, then apply. Next time when you enter the gnome, it will become the default resolution. That is my understanding Ubuntu BTS 433142 user said. Thanks, Frank Current state (before downloading the new package) gives me 1024x768 and 800x600 in GNOME screen settings. Hope it will work that time.

We probably need to inspect the Xorg.log that Thomas attached and see if the display X finds differs from the one reported in the similar Ubuntu bug report or not. Yep! I have no capability to inspect that, except the fact the log is not verbose about refresh rates refuseds, and says nothing about synchronization losses :P. How can I increase log verbotisity for Xorg startup "in the debian way" (probably /etc/default)? Next we should probably calculate the correct refresh rate for 800x480 and add native support for this in lx_panel. Would be great. Last, we need to make sure that those modes are attempted on displays that feature them. Currently, it seems that while the last patch we committed indeed adds native support, the resolution still needs to be selected in xorg.conf rather than by the usual EDID matching. Martin-Éric I agree on that last point, as my guess is that the laptop manufacturer didn't do her job correctly while using the AMD chipset, then simply rely on a peculiar xorg.conf or patch herself her proprietary distro without giving back. Hercules is not known for his respect regarding anything...

Thomas, Have you tried the latest driver on freedesktop? Just as Martin wrote, I committed a patch(that add an entry of 1024x600 for panel) that can support 1024x600 which will give you the whole screen. Because your problem is much like my malata notebook, so I think this new patch can work for you too. Another user on Ubuntu BTS has given me the reply on that and it can work too! The parameter for 1024x...@60 is generated by gtf tool. I suggest you use cvt tool to generate the parameter. It is better. If you find few modes are supported, don't be worried. Just use 1024x...@100 parameter to replace. I am sorry that this bug trail list is too long that I have not too much to read it, so please give a try and reply. 800x480 is same way to support.
