Mates.
I have a new Acer AL2216W that runs native at 1680x1050. The install is Suse 10 with xorg-x11-6.8.2-100.2. The video card supports 1680x1050 natively and works well under M$. I cannot for the life of me get the display to work under suse 10 at anything other that 1280x1024.
I have installed and used 915resulution to patch Mode 30 to 1680x1050 at 24 bits/pixel:
providence:/home/david/Documents/linux/video_WideScreen # 915resolution -l Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.2
Chipset: 915G BIOS: TYPE 1 Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $269 Mode Table Entries: 27
Mode 30 : 1680x1050, 24 bits/pixel Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3c : 1920x1440, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 1680x1050, 16 bits/pixel Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4d : 1920x1440, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 1680x1050, 32 bits/pixel Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5c : 1920x1440, 32 bits/pixel
I have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include the proper modeline created with gft to include the following:
Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool" DisplaySize 452 283 HorizSync 30-70 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "1680X1050@60HZ" Option "DPMS" VendorName "--> LCD" VertRefresh 59-63 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection
Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync EndSection
Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection
X starts just fine and Sax2 shows the resolution to be at 1680x1050 at 60 Hz, but the display is still squished like 1280x1024 is being stretched to 1680x1050. The Image fills the screen just fine, but it is obviously *not* right. Also, KDE control center -> display shows the resolution at 1280X1024 at 75Hz and I cannot select 1680x1050 in the control center.
You might read this too: http://pinot.rnome.com/LCD.pdf It helped me out with 10.0 and an ACER TM6003 (1400x1050). No problems in 10.2 btw.
*Help*, what else can I try????
