[Desktop-packages] [Bug 433142] Re: xf86-video-geode: 800x480 and 1024x600 Panel support is broken
Hi martin, 800x480 and 1024x600 work perfectly with your 2.11.14 and the xorg.conf in the README file. The other problems are that if i press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2, F3, etc...) nothing happens, no cli, just a black screen. And also if I attach a tft monitor with the external vga port, I can't change the resolution and the internal monitor of the ecafe doesn't turn off.

Actually, the bug also affects Jaunty, but doesnt affect Intrepid. I used to use a custom xorg.conf in intrepid, but it doesnt work on Jaunty or Karmic. In Jaunty and karmic, I could only use 1024x768 whick makes the screen bigger than the real display and is impossible to open new programs, specially in the menus (they simply disapear in the bottom of the screen).

In fact, Debian Lenny (that uses geode 2.10.1-2) works perfectly, VectorLinux 6.0 lite (that uses geode 2.9 - i think), also works. Jaunty (geode 2.11.1-1) and Karmic (2.11.4.1-1) dont work, they only display 1024x768... Actually, when I use the automatic configuration in Jaunty and Karmic (with no xorg.conf), the screen really seems to be 1024x768, but when I use the custom xorg.conf (the same I use in Intrepid), the screen seems different... like it was 800x768 (I know it's wierd, but it doesnt seem to be 1024x768 at all - everything is really ugly). Hope it will work in Karmic in time. Thanks in advance.

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I installed the 2.11.14 from your ppa, but I can't understand if I have to edit xorg.conf too or something else. Maybe I've lost the thread, I can't remember the steps I have to do to make the 1024x600 resolution work... Can you make me a brief summary?
