Hi,
I looked at this tool. It allows me to patch the bios table w/ resolution and
bpp value - but not with the rest of the mode line timings. How can I change
that?
Furthermore I'm using a SUN GDM5410 monitor - which seems to have nonstandard
timings...
still puzzled,
Wolfgang

Hi,
I'm using xorg-server 1.1.1-r1, with i810 driver for the Intel 915 on
board graphics adapter. I tried to use a SUN GDM5410 monitor (with
matching adapter cable), which now is hanging on a SUN workstation.
According to the OSD it runs w/ 81.1kHz/76 Hz vert/hor. freq., and a
resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. BUT if I try to use it on my new! shiny!
gentoo PC, I only get it to 1024x768 pixels. If I specify no modes in my
xorg.conf, I get a black screen, If I specify 1024x768, it works. I
tried to include 1280x1024 and 1280x960 (VESA modi), but got a murderous
screen flicker - totally unusable. The Xorg.0 logfile said something
about Supported Future Video Modes: which contain a 76Hz 1280x1024
mode. What does this mean?
I appended the xorg.cfg used for my tests with this monitor (I used
ddcxinfo-knoppix to generate mode lines), an Xorg.0 logfile is included
also.
Can anyone help me with getting a nice, shiny screen resolution? :-/
TIA,
Wolfgang Liebich
I've just set up this card on my new laptop, to get the highest resolution
you need to emerge 915resolution which patches the video bios, if I
understand correctly Try searching on the wiki for this package for the
exact details of how to set it up properly. I didn't find it difficult to do
