Re: [opensuse] Display resolution 1600x1200 will not accepted by 10.2
Hi Sean, I already tried that, but that did not help. The machine still does come up with 1280x1024. And even KDE does not provide me more than that resolution. I already diabled 915resolution hack and framebuffer laoding during boot, no solution. Jan Sean Craig wrote:
Hi Jan,
I also have this chipset in my Apple MacBook. To get the desired resolution, I set the resolution, saved without testing, and rebooted the machine. (save /etc/X11/xorg.conf first!)
The 915resolution hack is applied early on in the boot process to set the correct resolution.

Hi all,
I've little problem here. I got a SUN 365-1430 monitor as present here yesterday. The monitor does work fine and supports a resolution up to 1600x1200. If I do enter this resolution to sax2 and test it, sax2 will fall back to 1280x1024, no matter what I provide sax2 as monitor data.
Does anyone of you have the idea what the problem could be?
915resolution does provide me this:
sudo 915resolution -l albr17's password: Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.3
Chipset: 945G BIOS: TYPE 1 Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $269 Mode Table Entries: 27
Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 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 : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 640x480, 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 : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 640x480, 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 : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel
So I assume I do not have to patch the the vbios, as my resolution is already listed there. I've worked myself through various prostings and already provided the monitor specifications to sax2 by hand, but I still do not get my wanted resolution.
Any idea?
Thanks Jan

Try setting the resolution by hand in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. MAKE a backup of the file first - I have knocked myself out after messing it up without a working backup. You can try your new res by starting a second X session: X :1 use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill it.

You may also want to try sax2 -v or something like that check the man page there is a flag to let you do what you want and will not hide or suggest appropriate resolutions. All of this of course is not advisable unless you are sure you know what you are doing. I managed to get out of similiar situation with this approach - Windows OK, Linux - NO so I used the flag set the resolution, exit X session back in all OK. Good luck.
