Low screen resolution problem: Fedora 7, Via P4M800Pro, Via/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP
Hello,
I have Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO Pro V2030 15" notebook with P4M800Pro motherboard and VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP graphics card. I installed Fedora 7.
System >>> Preferences >>> Hardware >>> Screen resolution offers me only 800x600 or 640x480 and refresh rate 61. I need 1024x768 screen resolution.
I tried to install pre-compiled driver binary (linux-fbdev-kernel-bin_2.6.00.03a.tgz) provided by viaarena.com following installation instructions:
# vi /boot/grub/menu.lst (and add "vga=791")
# reboot
# tar zxvf linuxlinux-fbdev-kernel-bin_2.6.00.03a.tgz
# cd linux-fbdev-kernel-bin_2.6.00.03a
# ./viamenu (option 1. for install driver)
Here I got message:
-------- install start --------
./vinstall_2D: line 157: ldconfig: command not found
./vinstall_2D: line 176: depmod: command not found
-------- vinstall end --------
You can run vunistall to Rollback.
I replaced ldconfig and depmod in vinstall_2D file with /sbin/ldconfig and /sbin/depmod, respectively and tried again:
# ./viamenu
Now no error message is reported, however, installation does not proceed, because no message ("Now start to install VIA/S3G display utility..." etc. is reported between "install start" and "vinstall end" line:
-------- install start --------
-------- vinstall end --------
You can run vunistall to Rollback.
Last step is to load the module to the system; is the error here because the driver has not been installed or is this another problem?:
# /sbin/modprobe viafb mode=800x600 bpp=16
FATAL: Error inserting viafb (/lib/modules/2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen/kernel/drivers/video/viafb.ko): Invalid module format
What is wrong? I tried forum at viaarena.com but I did not get help there.
The only thing I need is to have 1024x768 screen resolution.
I would appreciate very much if anybody can help me.
