[opensuse] Changing drivers on Xorg (intel card)
Hi, replaced the "i810" driver with "intel" looking for better results on getting the s-video output to work but the server is using a wrong DisplaySize leaving me with a weird desktop. Pic: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7962/intelln4.png I changed the config like this: Section "Monitor" # DisplaySize 331 207 <-- Old value DisplaySize 344 222 <-- New value HorizSync 30-62 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "FD1631154WB4 LCD MONITOR" Option "DPMS" VendorName "CPT" VertRefresh 43-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection But the x server seems to use the old value (already restarted it many times), from the logs: (II) intel(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) intel(0): clock: 68.9 MHz Image Size: 331 x 207 mm <-- still getting the old values (II) intel(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1301 h_sync_end 1333 h_blank_end 1408 h_border: 0 (II) intel(0): v_active: 800 v_sync: 801 v_sync_end 804 v_blanking: 816 v_border: 0 This is a Dell Inspiron 6400, X/SaX detects the card as "945 GM" and the laptop specs state (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950), any ideas?

I changed the config like this:
Section "Monitor" # DisplaySize 331 207 <-- Old value DisplaySize 344 222 <-- New value HorizSync 30-62 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "FD1631154WB4 LCD MONITOR" Option "DPMS" VendorName "CPT" VertRefresh 43-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection
But the x server seems to use the old value (already restarted it many times), from the logs:
(II) intel(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) intel(0): clock: 68.9 MHz Image Size: 331 x 207 mm <-- still getting the old values (II) intel(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1301 h_sync_end 1333 h_blank_end 1408 h_border: 0 (II) intel(0): v_active: 800 v_sync: 801 v_sync_end 804 v_blanking: 816 v_border: 0

I can't tell what your screenshot is supposed to be showing, but here are three changes to xorg.conf that I would try if it was my problem: VertRefresh 56-61 # try this first # UseModes "Modes[0]" try 2nd Option "NoDDC" # in Section "Device" for the graphics card (last resort) I doubt DDC can work via an S-Video connection. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."

I can't tell what your screenshot is supposed to be showing, but here are
It's the actual view from the laptop's LCD panel, i'm not tinkering yet with s-video. If you have a look at the kde panel, it's not aware of the actual panel size and the konqueror box is fully maximazed it should be covering the whole screen
three changes to xorg.conf that I would try if it was my problem:
I assume that's for testing with s-video, right?, i'll test it in case it's needed
VertRefresh 56-61 # try this first # UseModes "Modes[0]" try 2nd Option "NoDDC" # in Section "Device" for the graphics card (last resort)
I doubt DDC can work via an S-Video connection. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." George Washington
