Widescreen video drivers
Hey,
so i've been playing around with linux graphic drivers (the Unichrome project) and my chipset is one of the unsupported chipsets (and even if it wasn't it doesn't have widescreen resolution as one of the options in the man page) so anyways, does anyone know of any way for getting the vesa drivers or any generic drivers to support the widescreen res (i.e. 1280x800?) Thanks for your help |
It is not the drivers, it is the x config file that matters, set the resolution in your xfree (or xorg) config file
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
Here's the relevant config from mine
Code:
Section "Screen" --Shade |
I have tried this, but since i am using the generic VESA drivers it doesn't work because the drivers don't support widescreen :(
|
Can you post the errors you get when you try that entry?
They're preceeded with an (EE) in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log --Shade |
When i'm using the vesa drivers as the device i don't actually get any errrors, it just doesn't change to the 1024x768 resolution, when i try to use the "via" drivers (the drivers for my graphic card from http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/) i get a message saying the chipset i have in my grpahic card (the K8M800) is not supported.... i can post the log if it will help?
