Hello,
I am running a slamd64 12.1 with a 2.6.27.7 kernel on a Compaq 6510b (Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller)
I tried to follow the intel linux graphics tutorial (
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html) and have modified the xorg.conf like this:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monLVDS"
# HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified.
# HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
HorizSync 31.5 - 50.0
# HorizSync 30-64 # multisync
# HorizSync 31.5, 35.2 # multiple fixed sync frequencies
# HorizSync 15-25, 30-50 # multiple ranges of sync frequencies
# VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified.
# VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
VertRefresh 40-90

# Option "LeftOf" "monVGA"
EndSection

# Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"

The problem now is that the LVDS-Monitor doesn't have the full resolution of 1440x900 but 1152x768:
Code:
bash-3.1$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2432 x 1024, maximum 2720 x 1024
VGA connected 1280x1024+1152+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 59.9
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 74.9 75.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 75.0 74.9 60.3
640x480 75.0 74.8 60.0
720x400 70.1
LVDS connected 1152x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm
1152x768 54.8*
1024x768 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0
720x400 85.0
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
bash-3.1$ xrandr --output LVDS -s 1440x900
bash-3.1$ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900
xrandr: cannot find mode 1440x900
bash-3.1$
The -s command has no effect at all...
Is it possible to add the 1440x900 mode?
Thanks

Now I have got some error messages, sometimes the following is just appearing on the screen:
