[directfb-users] xdirectfb running, but at really low resolution

[Brendan Wood]

I am having some problems getting xdirectfb working 100% properly, I was 
hoping someone might be able to help :)  I am using an Inspiron8100 laptop, 
with a geforece2go card.  I have vesafb compiled in the kernel, and am 
booting it this way:

title=FB Kernel VesaFB - Extra Opts
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/fbkernel root=/dev/hda3 vga=791 
video=vesa:[EMAIL PROTECTED],mtrr,ypan,xpan

Here is my /etc/fb.modes:

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/fb.modes 
 # 
 #   DirectFB video modes, should be placed into "/etc" 
 # 
 
 #mode "1024x768-76" 
         # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz 
 #       geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16 
 #       timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4 
 #       rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 
 #endmode

     # D: 134.880 MHz, H: 79.905 kHz, V: 74.958 Hz 
     geometry 1280 1024 1280 3264 16

     vsync high 
 endmode

     # D: 108.00 MHz, H: 63.981 kHz, V: 60.02 Hz 
     geometry 1280 1024 1280 1024 16

 endmode

     # D: 156.00 MHz, H: 76.200 kHz, V: 60.00 Hz

     timings 6411 256 32 52 10 160 8 
 endmode 
 
..and here is what I get when I fun fbset:

bash-2.05b$ fbset -i 
 
 mode "1024x768-76" 
     # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz 
     geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16 
     timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4 
     rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 
 endmode 
 
 Frame buffer device information: 
     Name        : VESA VGA 
     Address     : 0xe0000000 
     Size        : 33554432 
     Type        : PACKED PIXELS

     YPanStep    : 0 
     YWrapStep   : 0 
     LineLength  : 2048 
     Accelerator : No 
 
...when I type startxdfb it loads fine,  however it is in 640x480 resolution.  
I can't seem to get it anything better.  Is this normal?  (I know nVidia's 
hardware documentation isn't overly forthcoming)

Also, when it runs I get:

(!) DirectFB/core/fbdev: Panning display failed!
    --> Invalid argument
(!) DirectFB/core/fbdev: Panning display failed!
    --> Invalid argument


..any help appretiated :)  Thanks in advance guys!
