Re: SOLVED: 1400x1050 on a Dell 510m
855resolution v0.3 is released. I tried to put a better vbios detection routine in it. And, if it doesn't detect the correct vbios type, then the new option '-f x' permits to force it. Regards, Alain ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: SOLVED: 1400x1050 on a Dell 510m
Hi, So, there are at least 2 kinds of different VBIOS structures : the more common "type 1" structure was described by Andrew Tipton, (http://www.leog.net/fujp_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5371) and the "type 2" is what the 0.1 version of 855resolution knows how to patch (VBIOS structure of, at least, the Dell 510m). The 0.2 version of 855resolution is now available. I modularized it around plugins to be able to patch differents VBIOS. I don't know how to compute the several resolution values of the "type 1". If you know how, please, look into the file plugins/plugin1.c to put the formulas. So, for the moment, this 0.2 version is only a test. But perhaps it could work because the LCD screens don't use the different frequence values. Can you test it (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/) ?

As you say, the mode structures have the same mode, bits/pixels fields and also length (5 bytes). So, as only 3 bytes left, I don't see how they couldn't be a pointer of some type to the resolution structure. > But the pointers in that list that are supposed to point to the resolution > data are pointing to nonsensical values instead.

For example the modes 30, 41 and 51, which are all 640x400, are _always_ displayed with the (bogus) resolution of 3856x1536. The pointers for these modes are the same. So, to me, the pointers are correct but the resolution bytes (nibbles in fact) are not the same than on my 510m. To find the resolution byte, I dumped the differents structure for all the possible resolution and look at 1/ where the resolution x and y values, in hexa, could be 2/ how 2 different resolutions structure difer > Another question: May I put a link to the 855resolution page on my > 8x5patch/855wrap web page?

SOLVED: 1400x1050 on a Dell 510m
Hi,
I just finished to write a little soft to patch
the VBIOS on a Dell 510m and to get the 1400x1050
resolution.
I don't know if it works on other systems.
The soft '855resolution' can be found at
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/
Hope that help.

I've got this problem with the new Dell 510m model : with the normal i810
driver, we've got only a total green screen.
The problem comes from the call to INT 10h, 0x5f64 in the
GetDisplayInfo() function. It never returns.
As this function is only informative, I commented out its call in
I830DetectDisplayDevice() (XFree86 4.3.0.1) :
...
static Bool
I830DetectDisplayDevice(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn)
{
I830Ptr pI830 = I830PTR(pScrn);
int pipe, n;
DisplayType i;
#if 0
for (i = 0; i < NumKnownDisplayTypes; i++) {
if (GetDisplayInfo(pScrn, 1 << i, &pI830->displayAttached[i],
&pI830->displayPresent[i],
&pI830->displaySize[i].x2,
&pI830->displaySize[i].y2)) {
xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_INFO,
"Display Info: %s: attached: %s, present: %s, size: "
"(%d,%d)\n", displayDevices[i],
BOOLTOSTRING(pI830->displayAttached[i]),
BOOLTOSTRING(pI830->displayPresent[i]),
pI830->displaySize[i].x2, pI830->displaySize[i].y2);
}
}
#endif
pI830->configuredDevices = GetDisplayDevices(pScrn);
if (pI830->configuredDevices == -1) {
xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_INFO,
"Failed to detect active display devices\n");
return FALSE;
}
...
Now all is working fine (except the fact that the 1500x1040 resolution
is still not reconized by the bios).
I hope this help.
Regards
PS : not more need to use 855Patch with this bios.
