Re: VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP: Can't get better than 800x600

["David A." <achoice@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I've had some problems too but with the right configure it will work.
I run unstable and xorg.
I use a kernel with via-module/driver enabled - I do not know if this
is a requierment.
Snipps from kernel config;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIG_DRM_VIA:

Choose this option if you have a Via unichrome or compatible video
chipset. If M is selected the module will be called via.

Symbol: DRM_VIA [=y]
Prompt: Via unichrome video cards
Defined at drivers/char/drm/Kconfig:92
Depends on: DRM
Location:
 -> Device Drivers
   -> Character devices
     -> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
(DRM [=y])
----------------------------------------------------------------------



Some snipps from my xorg.conf - partly modified.
