[osol-help] No screens found with intel x3100

[andrew]

I don't know why the Intel driver is failing, but the VESA driver is failing 
because it seems unable to find modes that the hardware is capable of 
displaying. I did notice that DDC is failing, which could mean that your 
monitor is not DDC capable, you have a dodgy VGA cable that has one or more of 
the DDC pins disconnected (like the one I had), or possibly your graphics 
hardware is faulty. DDC failure should not lead to no display - it should fall 
back to a "safe" video mode - e.g. 800x600 at 60Hz.

Can you add a "Modes" line to the SubSection "Display", Depth 24 of the 
"Screen" Section of your xorg.conf file? It should look something like this:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     1
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     4
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I've corss-posted this to xwindow-discuss where the X experts hang out.

Cheers

Andrew.
