Cannot set native resolution (1920x1080) on Intel 82945G/GZ
Hi,
I've just bought new 22" monitor Philips 222EL (1920x1080), but I have problems with setting it's native resolution. Highest one is 1600x1200. I've got integrated graphical controller - Intel 82945G/GZ (128MB memory thought), but X.server keeps complaining on "exceeded video memory" when I try to set virtual size to 1920x1080. Here is the error message: Code:
[ 6411.133] (EE) VESA(0): Virtual size (1920x1080) (pitch 1920) exceeds video memory Quote:
And here is output from xrandr: Quote:

I will appreciate any answer. Thank you. |
Just to be sure, did you check if the amount of memory available to the graphics chip is not limited through the BIOS?
|
Yes, I have checked it. There were three options, but I don't remember the values (one of them is 128MB and the second one is 225MB - thought.) I have chosen the biggest option available. That's why I don't understand why it doesn't work.. :/

I'll see what else I can find, but heres the 2 possible problems-
Intel 945G/GZ Express Chipsets datasheet- http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/307502.pdf See page 28, GMCH Graphics Support Includes-> 3D Graphics Rendering Enhancements-> Maximum 3D Reslution Suppotred 1600x1200 @ 85Hz. I dont know if you are running in 3D or not. If not, you may be able to get a higher resolution, but then again, you may not- Quote:

Thank you for reply. However, it's solved now. The problem was elsewhere - on archlinux wiki. Adding "i915" to MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf solved everything. I hope that one day I finally find out, what the abbreviation "RTFM" means...
But thank you for the ideas. I really appreciate it. Greets, Michal Kváček. |
