Hi,
I have only two resolutions displayed by gnome-display-properties while
my Monitor connected to other systems definetly have more than 2
resolutions available.
From the Xserver Log I got the following:
(II) VESA(0): Total Memory: 1024 64KB banks (65536kB)
(II) VESA(0): Configured
Hi Lev,
Unless this is a last resort, I really recommend *NOT* to use the VESA

Any native driver for your graphics chip would do a better job of

What I miss - i did not find good explanation for various Option and
their affects, ( I do not deal with graphics usually), perhaps you can
give me some reference
It looks this way :

You can download a driver + docs if you know what chipset in your
board (lspci -v) at this site:

You can use the forum
Hi Hetz,

I suppose these VESA messages were printed before I rerun Xserver and I
did not realize it
Now the messages are come from OpenChrome but what does VESA Bios
means I
VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association) is an entity made from
several companies which creates different standards (see here:
http://www.vesa.org/)
The thing you saw is related to VESA VBE (VESA BIOS Extensions -
