[Bug 189694] Re: problem with intel card and resolution [i855GM]
I would like to reopen this bug report and pass any information that you require. I have a Dell Inspiron 510m that shares the chipset (intel 855GM) and a 15 SXGA monitor capable of 1400x1050 resolution under 'other' operating systems. I have trawled all over the web and the forums for a fix. I can only attain 1024x768 resolution. Any higher resolutions result in either gdm crashing out or with no perceptive change in resolution. I have tried the i955 package, using intel driver, vesa driver, i810 driver. I have tried setting a 'virtual' in the xorg.conf, which appears to give me that resolution, but not within the screen (cant see all the screen only 1024x768 pixels worth). If you want any futher system info please let me know, but my results on all files are similar to those already posted. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- problem with intel card and resolution [i855GM] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 189694] Re: problem with intel card and resolution
Does this problem still appear with Hardy Final Live CD? I guess the -i810 instead of the -intel driver was the problem. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete ** Summary changed: - problem with intel card and resolution + problem with intel card and resolution [i855GM] -- problem with intel card and resolution [i855GM] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hey I've just tried A solution exists: place the following (sub)section in xorg.conf in the device section.

The result: virtual monitor was larger than the real one, althoug i also chose 1400x1050 LCD panel in system settings. ** Attachment added: resolutionproblem.odt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12052591/resolutionproblem.odt -- problem with intel card and resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 189694] Re: problem with intel card and resolution
I can confirm this bug and give further details. On current Hardy with chipset and video card: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) With xorg (1:7.3+10ubuntu4) and intel driver (2:2.2.0.90-2ubuntu2). When X starts the intel video driver allocates (fb) memory equal to the size of the square of the biggest (horizontal or vertical) dimension (in pixels) of any of the attached display devices. (That is the maximum value in the first line of xrandr's output.) This is annoying, because you just can't hot-plug (even when now with xorg and xrandr possible) display devices. And even when connected first, it is not possible to set an extended (a.k.a. virtual, dual, multiple) screen configuration, because if your first monitor is 800*600, and your second 1024x768, you are unable to place them aside of each other. That would require a virtual resolution of at least 1824x768, instead of the automatically chosen 1024x1024. A solution exists: place the following (sub)section in xorg.conf in the device section.

[Bug 189694] Re: problem with intel card and resolution
A real and effective solution would be to either adjust the fb memory size dynamically without of restarting of X, or choose a larger (e.g. 2048x2048) default value. -- problem with intel card and resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
