I'm trying to configure a monitor my wife purchased for her machine (shouldn't let her do that...). It is a flat panel lcd with a native mode of 1440x900@60hz. Unfortunately, I've run up against problem similar to [0] in xorg with the i810 driver (she's running etch). I have hacked her xorg.conf to death using different modelines (from various sources, including the EDID information from the monitor itself) with no results. I have also played with 915resolution [1] to patch up the vBIOS to support the required resolution, but unfortunately, I can't get any of the modes to provide the right clock rate (with or without a modeline specified). I've also tried the patched driver .so from here [2]. and pulled in xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from unstable. None have worked to provide the right mode. It appears from various bits of reading [3] that the switch over to -intel driver may solve the problem. Does anyone know? I repeat this is my wife's machine, and messing with it is always a tricky thing ;). muffy@swfamily:~$ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) thanks A [0] http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=15922&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=3b20851533990e716721d8e832bd4701 [1] http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ [2] http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html [3] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643
