Neomagic NM2160 video driver problem on HP Omnibook 3000

putvejs · 08-19-2009, 05:41 AM

Hi!

I am trying to set up maximum video resolution on my old laptop and maximum what I can get is 800X600 - I am using LXDE desktop on Xubuntu distro , Resolution got form - Settings -> Monitor Settings

Maximum resolution I read is 1024x768 with Depth 16 parameter (http://www.frankb.us/stuff/OmniBook3000CTX.html#Xserver)

I have installed xserver-xorg-video-neomagix module

Linux version (uanme -r ) : 2.6.28-6-386

Just drop the first four of these subsections From your xorg.conf and see what it does.

Sorry, didn't help. Now X windows can not be started, just black screen opens with options to switch to default video settings.

Actually when I do lspci -vv, it gives module name for my video card:

Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2160 [MagicGraph 128XD]
        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-

        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 0

        Region 2: Memory at fed00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Kernel modules: neofb

When I do sudo modprobe neofb , still nothing changes

If you hunt in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, you will see the module X uses.

grep driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I also suggest you read on the card, and find out how much memory it has. Cards of a certain vintage and (low) ram would do 800x600 on 16 bit colours but 1024x768 on only 8 bit colours. 8 bit colour is a problem today, as it is not so well catered for.

putvejs · 08-24-2009, 10:38 AM

I tried to leave just 8 bit, but it didn't help, it just don't work with that resolution, it always loads default video mode : 800x600

Product Information is following

Code:

Video
Graphics Processor / Vendor: NeoMagic NM2160A PCI
Video Memory: EDO RAM - 2 MB
Supported Display Graphics: VGA (640x480), XGA (1024x768), SVGA (800x600)

If look at Xorg.0.log file then driver is neomagic:

(WW) System lacks support for changing MTRRs

I have trimmed your output to a few interesting lines which I copied & pasted in. 2 megs does 1024x768 at 8 colours flying. I would make some coments:

The reason you don't have 1024x768 is that your _display_ says it is only capable of 800x600. I offer no solutions, but monitors are cheap. The HSync/VSync figures are very restrictive, and you will end up with a slow interlaced mode. Your card doesn't like interlaced modes. Find the specs for your monitor and give them in xorg.conf
HorizSync 31.5-50
VertRefresh 50-80

Are very safe values for the ;last 5 years. If anything goes wrong reduce the 50 in 31.5-50

The warning about changing MTRRs (I think) sends you to vesa driver. Vesa doesn't do DRI, iirc. It is a cpu fault - you have a pentium, pentium2, or amd i586? You should not have anything compiled above i586. You can get source for all these X packages and compile them yourself.
