New problem I noticed after reboot - now gdm do not show anything, it
just turns display on/off

VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association) is an entity made from
several companies which creates different standards (see here:
http://www.vesa.org/)
The thing you saw is related to VESA VBE (VESA BIOS Extensions -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions) which is a standard
that any graphics chip vendors needs to comply to. This standard means
that the graphics chip should give a basic operation under this
standard (which is implemented in the "vesa" driver). The graphics
won't be accelerated, video will not be using any acceleration at all
(which means your video will have really jerky playback experience).
It only should let you have minimum memory to show something, cursor
and some more basic operations, a very basic VGA display. It's
reserved for times when you have a shiny new card and there are no
Linux (or any other OS) drivers for it.
Thanks,
Hetz

Hi Hetz,
The chipset is cle266, Linux Ubuntu 8.04, I configured Xserver to use
openchrome driver ( Ubuntu has it inside )
I suppose these VESA messages were printed before I rerun Xserver and I did
not realize it
Now the messages are come from OpenChrome but what does VESA Bios means I
still do not now ???

Lev,
You didn't tell me which chipset do you use (I understand it's VIA,
but which VIA?), nor distribution that you use...
You can download a driver + docs if you know what chipset in your
board (lspci -v) at this site:
http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action
You can use the forum here (http://www.tkarena.com/forums/via-arena/)
which I'm sure your question has been asked before.
Thanks,

After hard googling I managed to set up working setup in xorg.conf
What I miss - i did not find good explanation for various Option and their
affects, ( I do not deal with graphics usually), perhaps you can give me
some reference
It looks this way :
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
Vendorname "Plug 'n' Play"
Modelname "Plug 'n' Play"
HorizSync 30-98
Option "DPMS"
Option "VBEModes"

1024x768 +0+0; 800x600 +0+0"
EndSection

Hi Lev,
Unless this is a last resort, I really recommend *NOT* to use the VESA
driver. Vesa used the least of your grpahics chip capabilities, NO
graphics acceleration, no nothing,
Any native driver for your graphics chip would do a better job of
allocating memory (and not giving you only 64MB RAM for your chip) and
will detect all the resolutions. VESA most of the time don't know much
about those resolutions because it's trying to go "wild" with 24 bit
colors and for VESA, thats what you can get unless you fiddle with
many parameters in xorg.conf file.
Your monitor can supports multiple resolutions as shown by your log,
but VESA is too dumb. Use the correct driver (which chip do you have?
if you can tell me, I'll be happy to tell you which driver to use) and
it should show all the fancy stuff.
Thanks,
Hetz
