Michel,
Unfortunately, you are correct. I had tried disabling both of these options without success wrt my problem. I do not want my resolutions to scale to full screen. The reason for this is simple - Most overhead projectors will not sync to the highest native resolution of my laptop - 1400x1050. However since all the lower resolutions scale to this higher resolution (and the scaling produces a low quality image), I am unable to sync to a projector at any resolution! This is a fatal flaw for me. I will have to boot to winxp to use a projector connected to my external laptop video output. -- Steve Castillo On 27 Aug 2002, Michel D�nzer wrote: > On Tue, 2002-08-27 at 16:19, Steven Castillo wrote: > > > > Is it possible to turn off the "Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion" > > XAA feature for the ATI Radeon Mobility M7 chip on a laptop? > > Sure, with Option "XaaNoCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" or > "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" (from man XF86Config-4). > > > When running in a resolution lower than the laptop native resolution, I > > do not want the display to be scaled to the entire screen, which is what > > this XAA feature apparently does. > > It doesn't, as you'll find out when trying these options. :) That > feature is mainly used to accelerate the drawing of monochrome text. > > As for the mode scaling, I'm not aware of a way to turn that off; what's > the behaviour you'd like to achieve? > > > _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
