stage 2..
I have dri working now (sort of?) and drm installed.
being a bit of a noob at x (& linux in general) I just copied my modeline
section from 1400x1050 and duplicated it for all resolutions.
that's not too good without modifying it and adapt it to the new
resolution.
now when I run Tuxracer I just get a blue screen, with sound.
no actual graphics.
the modelines Read along the lines of:
# 800x600 @ 60Hz, 65.8 kHz hsync
Modeline "800x600" 129 1400 1464 1656 1960
1050 1051 1054 1100 +HSync +VSync
That's the point. The Modeline specifies the pixel-points of the end of
screen, sync begin and end and so on. You have to recalculate the
Modelines in this way:
800x600
Modeline "800x600" 129 800 864 1056 1360
600 601 604 650 +HSync +VSync
I don't think, that this will work out of the Box, but you should
understand for what the Modelines actually were specified. However, I
cannot switch between different resolutions interactively, too, but I
tried kxconfig, a module for the kontrolcenter (I assume using KDE),
which gave me reasonable Modelines.
HTH,
jochen
however I really don't know what all that means..
I'ld better do some more reading, could I maybe have my refresh rates wonky?
Cheers,
Ben.
