Been there tried that, got:
(**) intel(0): Kernel mode setting active, disabling FBC.
BUT:
(II) intel(0): EDID for output LVDS1
(II) intel(0): Manufacturer: LPL Model: 0 Serial#: 0
(II) intel(0): Year: 2004 Week: 0
(II) intel(0): EDID Version: 1.2
(II) intel(0): Digital Display Input
(II) intel(0): Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 33 vert.: 21
(II) intel(0): Gamma: 2.20
(II) intel(0): No DPMS capabilities specified
(II) intel(0): Supported color encodings: RGB 4:4:4 YCrCb 4:4:4
(II) intel(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode
(II) intel(0): redX: 0.590 redY: 0.344 greenX: 0.323 greenY: 0.534
(II) intel(0): blueX: 0.156 blueY: 0.138 whiteX: 0.312 whiteY: 0.328
(II) intel(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0
(II) intel(0): Supported detailed timing:
(II) intel(0): clock: 71.2 MHz Image Size: 289 x 21 mm
See those 21 mm, should have been 210mm!
So letters are absolutely HUGE and render this useless.
There is some
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LVDS"
DisplaySize 330 206
HorizSync 30-90
VertRefresh 50-60
EndSection
in the xorg.conf as this must have been a problem sometime
before, but it doesnt help now ...
