 Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:58 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Crippled Resolution (xorg-server & gnome) |
 |
|
My latest update world crippled my resolution to 1600x1200 again. There was a new xorg-server and gnome. I didn't update my kernel, so it shouldn't be a driver issue. It must be a config.

I checked all the major culprits of /etc/conf.d/915resolution
| Quote: |
replace=( "5c 1920 1200 24" )
|
And /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Quote: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
But, everything looks okay. But, I'm still in 1600x1200.
The obvious is that 915resolution didn't work right, but I can see my modes:

I'm looking through my logs and I'll track backwards:
| Quote: | (II) I810(0): Not using mode "1920x1200" (no mode of this name)
(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 1600x1200 (pitch 2048)
(**) I810(0): Built-in mode "1600x1200" |
So, I must be missing a 1920x1200 mode.

WinBSegment: 0x0
WinFuncPtr: 0x0

That should have been set, but it's not.

Could the 915resolution change be messing up my bios? |

Solved! I moved from 24 to 32 bits per pixel and all is well again. I noticed that there are no native 24 depth resolutions in the 915 resolution.

Probably an artifact from copying my xorg.conf from a previous laptop. It worked before, but not now. |
