Re: [gentoo-user] 1400x1050 vga= mode framebuffer

2003-09-09 Thread Christian Aust 
Hi Dhruba,

I used to run gentoo on an Compaq EVO N800C w/ an ATI Radeon 7500 card. 
Although I can't test it anymore, video=radeonfb used to work for me - 
the card switched into the BIOS default mode. Best regards,

-  Christian

Hello

Anyone know the vga= mode for 1400x1050 resolution?  I require this 
for my laptop which looks blurred on any other non-native framebuffer 
resolution.

 Same problem. I'm using the vesafb (radeonfb seems to be broken in dev- 
 sources). Anyway:
 
 nomad root # cat /proc/cmdline
 root=/dev/hda6 vga=834 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr

For the benefit of any thinkpad users out there, especially those with
letter gfx chips (my T23 has the s3 Super Savage IX/C)

These parameters will get you 1400x1050 @ 16bit:
vga=0x33c video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap

(This only works if you have the higher res screen of course)
