change resolution
 
I've been trying to get my IBM t41 resolution to be at 1400X1024. Not really sure where to start.

Here's what i've done or installed so far.

xfree86 4.3.0.7 running with xfree86-dri-trunk

radeon module compile and running

here's my dmesg | grep radeon
Code:
radeonfb: Invalid ROM signature 0 should be 0xaa55
radeonfb: Retreived PLL infos from BIOS
radeonfb: Reference=27.00 MHz (RefDiv=12) Memory=260.00 Mhz, System=183.00 MHz
radeonfb: Monitor 1 type LCD found
radeonfb: Monitor 2 type no found
radeonfb: panel ID string: 1024x768
radeonfb: detected LVDS panel size from BIOS: 1024x768
radeondb: BIOS provided dividers will be used
radeonfb: Power Management enabled for Mobility chipsets
radeonfb: ATI Radeon LW  DDR SGRAM 32 MB
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.9.0 20020828 on minor 0
and dmesg | grep agpgart
Code:
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 855PM Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000
agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 1x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 1x mode

and of course my XF config file

This is for the radeon 7500 mobility.

The resolution setting you wish to use (1400x1024) is not listed as an option in the Modes line of the Display section - the closest is 1400x1050.

I don't know what resolution settings are supported by the T41, but assuming the ones you want are supported, you could try editing the file and replacing each 1050 with 1024. Save the original file in case you need to restore it. -- J.W.

Have a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log, it should display the modes supported by your monitor.

Here's what my looks like for example;
(II) I810(0): Supported VESA Video Modes:
(II) I810(0): 720x400@70Hz
(II) I810(0): 640x480@60Hz
(II) I810(0): 640x480@75Hz
(II) I810(0): 800x600@75Hz
(II) I810(0): 1024x768@75Hz
(II) I810(0): 1280x1024@75Hz
(II) I810(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0
(II) I810(0): Supported Future Video Modes:
(II) I810(0): #0: hsize: 800 vsize 600 refresh: 100 vid: 26693
(II) I810(0): #1: hsize: 1024 vsize 768 refresh: 85 vid: 22881
(II) I810(0): #2: hsize: 1024 vsize 768 refresh: 100 vid: 26721
(II) I810(0): #3: hsize: 1152 vsize 864 refresh: 110 vid: 29297
(II) I810(0): #4: hsize: 1280 vsize 1024 refresh: 100 vid: 43137
(II) I810(0): #5: hsize: 1600 vsize 1200 refresh: 90 vid: 24233
(II) I810(0): #6: hsize: 1600 vsize 1280 refresh: 85 vid: 39337
