SVGATextMode with Intel 82845G Graphics Controller
Hi,
I use Debian Sarge in console-only mode i.e. no X. I would like to increase the vertical frequency of my monitor from 60 Hz to 85 Hz. The model of my monitor is Dell E771a and it supports vertical freq. up to 160 Hz. My machine is Dell™ OptiPlex™ GX260. It has onboard Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller. I installed svgatextmode. It created a file /etc/TextConfig which I have to edit in order to change my monitor frequency. However in it i don't find the model of my graphic controller chipset Intel 82845G. Do you know if it is possible to increase my monitor frequency to 85Hz in console mode using svgatextmode with my hardware? (Under X it is certainly possible.) Thank you. |
Since you have an Intel 82845G, I would recommend using the Intel Framebuffer driver (intelfb) rather than svgatextmode. On the boot line you can say:
video=intelfb:1200x800-32@85 1200x800 resolution, 32bits per pixel (color mode), 85Hz refresh rate If you have the kernel source, have a look at the file Documentation/fb/intelfb.txt |

Do you know if I can have both vert. freq. 85Hz and console screen resoltion 1024x768 for video chipset Intel 845G and monitor Dell GX260? Thanks! |
