I'm trying to configure a monitor my wife purchased for her machine
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
I've been through a whole host of other attempts and I'm pretty sure
that I've exhausted the possibilities. I'm now migrating the wife up
to sid... heh heh. The more I've researched it, the more it appears
that the problem is solved in sid. I'll report back.
so I've moved her up to sid (a *totally* painless process BTW) and I
can now get better resolution choices for this monitor, but no luck at
the native 1440x900. It will do the resolution and the monitor (which
will shutdown on bad inputs) reports 1440x900@60hz in its little
OSD. But the placement and size are bad and there appears to be no
fix. Regardless we've now got 1280X768 and it looks gorgeous, so she'
s happy.
I am trying to do the same, but the intel driver in the
xserver-xorg-video-intel package has not helped. I have also tried a
modeline suggested by a friend, and it is ignored by X as apparently the
hsync is out of range.
I have also tried 915resolution, but it says it doesnt work for my chipset.
lspci says i have
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Q963/Q965
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Q963/Q965 Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Does anyone have any advice on what to try to get this card to do
1680x1050@60hz ?
I am running lenny, and the intel driver is the same version there as
unstable, so I doubt moving to unstable will help me...

I can't get it to even try the res I want as it thinks its out of range.
I don't know if using DVI changes anything...
