(Fedora Core 4) Vesa Driver Problem
Fairly New to Linux...
Using a Sony Vaio Laptop The LCD screen on my Vaio is meant to be 1280x800, But apparently Linux doesnt come with drivers that support those settings, and Intel doesnt have Linux drivers that support the chipset. So Linux uses a default generic vesa driver and gives me an 800x600 resolution, SUCKS!!. So I googled and found a program called 915resolution, got it installed, patched the bios, and added it to my rc.local file. Also, I changed my xorg.conf file to display the 1280x800 resolution, rebooted the X server, and it remains at 800x600. When i reboot i can see bios being patched. I've come across people who have had the same problem but they get theres working doing everything i did. HELP!! |
Can you post your xorg.conf

It looks fine, the only think I could suggest is to change the DefaultDepth 16 to 24, it might be the problem.
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Ofcourse check that it supports 24depth, but I think it should. |
Just tried it..no luck, any more suggestions from anyone?..

anybody?...

Try to change the monitor type.
use the utility ' system-config-display ' . In the hardware tab use the Monitor type configure.......then in Generic LCD display select LCD panel with your resolution. Then click OKs.......it will create a new xorg.conf file with your configurations. Then logout and start your X. I hope this will solve the problem. |
I solved the problem actually by changin the monitors horizontal and vertical syncs, thank for the help though..
|
Changing the monitor type actually changes the horizontal and vertical rates ......anyway goodluck.
