Bug#436942: xserver-xorg-video-intel: big black border and distorted display
Since there were problems with the driver - I've added some ATI video card that our sys. admin. has arranged. I'll try to switch back to the intel one and update you.

All answers are true :-) If you want to test the current upstream git and need help to build it, > let me know. Sure. If there is an HOW TO page or some document how to build a deb from the upstream git. it will be great. Thanks, Gal Brice > >

Bug#430885: xserver-xorg-video-intel: new intel driver doesn't support all modes of i810 driver
My monitor can only support up to 80 on this resolution. The xrandr output is before I've tried the preferred mode. Do you also need the output after I'm defining Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_75.00" ? If there is a border related problem - I have no problem to install an updated version from experimental and test it.

Hello Brice, As I've mentioned on my previous mail (July 1, 2007 ) - I'm also having this problem. using the preferred mode didn't really helped and I'm currently returned to the 1.7.2-4 version of xserver-xorg-video-i810 from Etch, which is working great as it used to be. Please let me know how or what actions I can do in order to solve this. # lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) Cheers, Gal On 8/9/07, Brice Goglin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Itai Seggev wrote: > > The output to the first two commands is below. > > Did you forget to paste it ? > > > I didn't know about > > xrandr and using it to resize.
