Tecra 8200 Cyberbladexp cannot get 1400x1050
 
Hi all,
Im using a Toshiba Tecra 8200 which has a cyberbladexp graphics chipset (16mb of vram) trouble is i cannot get the maximum resolution of 1400x1050, I've tried editing my xorg.conf and it either dosnt boot up X or it reverts back 1024x768, I've tried rerunning sax2 and reprobing my graphics card but it detects it as a trident 9910 with a vesa 800x600 monitor, ive manually changed these with yast/sax and it still reverts back to 1024x768.

anyone else had any experience/problems with this chipset or laptop model?

Running suse 9.3 pro, with all updates.

This is the first time i've really used a linux distro and im absolutley loving it, especially when before this tecra p3 850Mhz i had a p2 233Mhz toshiba 4000cds (think that was the model) with 16mb of ram and suse 9.2 ran like a dream on it, ran Mambo and Moodle on it for demonstration purposes with no hitch!
does anyone know if there any other 3d accelerated compatible drivers that i might use?

Thanks for all your comments/help :)


PS. its such a pity that trident micro systems decided against releasing any hardware information about the cyberbladexp as the best "we" can get is 2-d acceleration - which means no good old "tux racer" ;)

Here's a similar situation I found on google, but with more links and some tweaking regarding video to 1400 mode.

hope that helps
