Re: Possible Petition - RE: [XFree86] Can't start X with I830M chipset, 8MB preallocated video RAM
I'll sign whatever petition you like, but I won't delude myself into thinking it'll make a difference. Linux users aren't a big enough marketyet! I don't think so. In Europe people using open source coped with stopping the patent directive. +1 for the petition. Davide ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I don't know if anyone know this link: http://www.petitiononline.com/xanthan/petition.html Is a try to make OSS people visible about the Centrino problem. Maybe we can arrange something like this. Davide ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] widescreen support under RedHat9
[...] (the few modifications I already tried made no difference.) Or, in the worst case, is there a way in which I can get the normal aspect ratio of 4/3 (e.g. 1024x768) by including black stripes at the sides? The graphics card is an Intel 852 (Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME) with 64 MB and the i810 driver. Don't loose time. Looks into video modes listed into your video BIOS (you can find the list by browsing your log file es. Xfree86.log.0). If the video mode 1280x800 is not listed you have no hope to exploit your wide screen. Welcome to the club.

Re: [XFree86] Re: I852/855G and widescreen support.
[...] This means that there is a way to overcome this limitation. By saving your money and acquiring Intel Inc., then providing the specifications to the community? Or are you suggesting something else I'm missing. What part of WE DO NOT HAVE THE DAMN SPECIFICATIONS is unclear? The way to overcome that, is for Intel to provide the specifications. What are you missing? Overcome I intended technical possibility. Are there any working plan on this matter? Yes. The working plan is: 1) Wait until Intel releases the specifications to the public. 2) Wait until some developer gives a shit about the problem enough to take those specs and do something about the problem. Are there any experimental patches that I can try to use? No. Can I use framebuffer instead of native i810 driver? If so any suggestion where I can find information about? Unless you have a rich Uncle of considerable influence at Intel or something, there is nothing you can find out about and absolutely nothing you can do about this. The code can _only_ be written via having the specifications, or reverse engineering. Feel free to single step the video BIOS, and provide patches to implement the desired functionality. I'm planning to adopt a rich uncle in order to acquire Intel. Thanks Mike, is always a pleasure to receive polite answers about problems using open source drivers. Maybe be the mailing list is not the correct place where to ask for questions. Good luck. Thanks, really. Davide pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[...] Some people's ignorance towards already and often and repeatedly given information (AKA the Can't open font 'fixed'-phenomenon) can be a little annoying sometimes. I can understand. I'm sorry if I've not found topics related to the mine. I've really searched both through the mailing list and the web before to post, but likely I've used bad keywords. I apoligize.

I upgraded to Xfree 4.3 to have the drivers for it. And I could use them but not change the resolution. Ley me know if you find the solution. Nothing new unfortunately. I've tried with VESA driver with the same result: it'is impossible to set a different mode than what the Xserver recognize. I've also tried to use FBDEV and I've found a different behavior: it recognize 1875k of videomem and it runs only at 800x600. It is useless to explicitely declare a wider video memory. I've tryed the Accelerated-X drivers. It seems they can manage wide screen only at 1280x768 but not at 1280x800.

Unfortunately intel has not provided specs for setting the mode apart from the BIOS. Yes, it's true. The BIOS does not have the support of this resolution, but: - Accelerated-X provides a driver that is working at 1280x768 that is also not supported into the BIOS (not like 1280x800 but much better than 1024x768) - Windows has drivers working fine.

[XFree86] Problems with graphics chipset 852GM/855GM and LCD wide screen
Hi all, I've a notebook with Intel graphics chipset 852GM/855GM and a widescreen LCD with resolution 1280x800. Under mandrake 9.2 the HW is recognized as i810 and it's work but I can't set the resolution mode 1280x800 even if I define it as Modeline option. I've tried all possible configuration came up in my mind I've attacched both Log and XF86Config-4 files. Any suggestion would be very appreciated.
