Re: [arch-general] How to set grub2 resolution to 1366x768
It seems that your computer doesn't report correctly the displayed mode. I may look pessimistic on this one but I fear that you won't get any cookies from Grub2 this time. 2012/2/21 Bill Sun cap.sensit...@gmail.com On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 05:51:29AM +0100, Ralf Mardorf wrote: Did you check by running sudo hwinfo --framebuffer too? It shouldn't differ, but perhaps there's something fishy with vbeinfo. I just checked `sudo hwinfo --framebuffer`, the attachment below is the result. Cheers, Bill
Re: [arch-general] How to set grub2 resolution to 1366x768
My two grub2 correctly report and use non standard resolution. That is 1600x900 on my ux31e and 1920x1080 on my desktop. 2012/2/21 Keshav P R the.ridikulus@gmail.com On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 08:51, Bill Sun cap.sensit...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, @Keshav P R: I tried: set gfxmode=1366x768;auto It didn't give me a 1366x768 console; instead, grub2 just gave me a 1024x768 console. Maybe grub2 does not support non-standard modes. Better to ask in #grub irc. @Thomas Courbon: Yes, I just tried the 'auto' parameter, and, indeed, it didn't change anything. I just update my BIOS to the latest version---1.2.6, and it didn't change anything. Maybe It's my BIOS's fault. @Ralf Mardorf: According to `vbeinfo` under grub2, the maximum resolution my laptop (or my laptop's BIOS, I have no idea about this) supports is 1024x768. However, in Linux, I got a 1366x768 console by default (without further configuration). That's why I am thinking about insert some modules into grub2 and it may give me a proper console resolution.

Re: [arch-general] How to set grub2 resolution to 1366x768
Look for the following line : GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 in your grub.cfg (/etc/default/grub). Also it would be nice if you could write down here the result of a vbeinfofrom the Grub2 command line. 2012/2/21 Calvin Morrison mutanttur...@gmail.com On 21 February 2012 10:00, Keshav P R the.ridikulus@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 20:18, Bill Sun cap.sensit...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, According your posts, should I file a bug report directly to lenovo? Not to Lenovo. To grub2 upstream. Regards, Bill This whole thing is strange. I am running ubuntu/arch/win7 with grub2 and everything works perfectly. I am running an X220 as well with the intel sandy bridge. Is there a spot where this is set in my grub.cfg? If i could pinpoint this I can paste it here. Calvin
Re: [arch-general] How to set grub2 resolution to 1366x768
Hi, I have a Sandy bridge based laptop (Asus Zenbook UX31e) and I use GRUB2 as my bootloader. I'm not at home and can't check that, but I didn't had to do any insmod i915whatever command line magic. I assume that you already tried to use the auto parameter instead of an hard-set resolution and that didn't change anything. I guess that your BIOS may not repport correctly the resolution supported by the X220 pannel. Is your BIOS up-to-date ? Cheers ! Thomas 2012/2/20 Bill Sun cap.sensit...@gmail.com Hi, I want to have a 1366x768 resolution for grub2. Unfortunately, `vbeinfo` shows that my computer doesn't support that resolution (up to 960x640/1024x768). So, can I load some additional modules for grub2 so that it can support 1366x786 resolution in my computer? I tried to do the following steps in grub2 command line: 1) insmod 915resolution 2) 915resolution 5c 1366 786 After step2, grub2 command line became completely black and unresponsive. I had to press the power button to force halt my machine. System information: Archlinux x86_64 grub2-common 1.99 grub2-bios 1.99 Thinkpad X220 (with Intel Sandy Bridge CPU graphic card) Regards

Re: [arch-general] What about gallium on r600?

They switched in FC Rawhide to Mesa 7.10 snapshots and enabled r600 gallium there. So expect this when we will push new Mesa 7.10 to our repos. testing/mesa-7.10-1 still have no --enable-gallium-r600 in configure I would like to add that starting with AMD HD 69XX the open source radeon driver will be built on top of Gallium 3D only (source : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=ODk4OQ). As far I'm concerned the two drivers are now on par at least for r300 et r600 (I don't know the situation for the other GPU). So I guess that would be nice to (at least) think to switch.
