I tried with 1400x1050@60HZ but there is no significant change. Now sometimes at the left side shows up very shortly a white stripe - maybe the distorted content of the screen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I did the following: In the section monitor I changed ModelName from 1400X1050@75HZ to 1024X768@75HZ (in a second trial I also tried 1024X768@60HZ) As the section Modes didn't contain Modelines for 1068x768 I added them manually from another xorg.conf file of an older installation (10.2) on this laptop.The section screen I left untouched.Hope this was alright.I even tried all this once more without the 855resolution... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

but for now I'm afraid we need to switch to i810 driver for your laptop. done.

If you're interested in getting the new intel driver working with your laptop ASAP, it would be helpful to open a bugreport for this issue on bugs.freedesktop.org (product xorg, component Driver/intel) and put me into Cc (sndirsch@suse.de), so the upstream intel developers (Intel itself!) can have a look at this issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll do this. It seems, that this is not only a problem of the 855 chipset: Yesterday I installed OSS 10.2 on Fujitsu Siemens PC with an integrated c845 chipset connected to a 1680x1050 TFT-screen. After the installation I did a complete update. When I restarted the machine it ended up at a black screen, totally frozen, with no way to a console. Only after setting the driver in xorg.conf from "intel" to "i810" it worked. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
