[XFree86] Status for i855GM and 1400x1050?

2004-02-12 Thread Odd Christer Brovig
What is the status for this chipset and resolution? Will it work native 
in 4.4.0?
I've had no success of getting the mode up and running in both 4.3.0 
with 855patch and 4.4.0 rc2(installed from binaries provided by 
xfree86.org).

Regards, Odd Christer Brovig.

not unless there has been a *significant* rewrite of the driver, which is
unlikely (and there hasn't been any news about it - I assume we'd know).

I _do_ recall a while back someone saying that intel had released an 855
Video Bios update, which included this mode (so X couldthen use it), but
it relies on your manufacturer incorporating this into a system BIOS
update.

On dell machines at least, this seems very unlikely :-(

I feel you pain - in fact, I'm experiencing it right now :)
