Re: SOLVED : Xserver question - why VESA considers monitor Virtual size is 800x600 ???

2009-05-05 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association) is an entity made from
several companies which creates different standards (see here:
http://www.vesa.org/)

The thing you saw is related to VESA VBE (VESA BIOS Extensions -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions) which is a standard
that any graphics chip vendors needs to comply to. This standard means
that the graphics chip should give a basic operation under this
standard (which is implemented in the "vesa" driver). The graphics
won't be accelerated, video will not be using any acceleration at all
(which means your video will have really jerky playback experience).
It only should let you have minimum memory to show something, cursor
and some more basic operations, a very basic VGA display. It's
reserved for times when you have a shiny new card and there are no
Linux (or any other OS) drivers for it.

Thanks,
Hetz

SOLVED : Xserver question - why VESA considers monitor Virtual size is 800x600 ???

2009-05-05 Thread Lev Olshvang




Hi  Hetz,

The chipset is cle266,  Linux Ubuntu 8.04, I configured Xserver to use
openchrome driver ( Ubuntu has it inside )  

I suppose these VESA messages were printed before I rerun Xserver and I
did not realize it

Now the messages are come from OpenChrome  but what does VESA Bios
means I still do not now ???

You can download a driver + docs if you know what chipset in your

Hi Lev,

Unless this is a last resort, I really recommend *NOT* to use the VESA
driver. Vesa used the least of your grpahics chip capabilities, NO
graphics acceleration, no nothing,

Any native driver for your graphics chip would do a better job of
allocating memory (and not giving you only 64MB RAM for your chip) and
will detect all the resolutions. VESA most of the time don't know much
about those resolutions because it's trying to go "wild" with 24 bit
colors and for VESA, thats what you can get unless you fiddle with
many parameters in xorg.conf file.

Your monitor can supports multiple resolutions as shown by your log,
but VESA is too dumb. Use the correct driver (which chip do you have?
if you can tell me, I'll be happy to tell you which driver to use) and
it should show all the fancy stuff.

Hi Lev,

Unless this is a last resort, I really recommend *NOT* to use the VESA
driver. Vesa used the least of your grpahics chip capabilities, NO
graphics acceleration, no nothing,

Any native driver for your graphics chip would do a better job of
allocating memory (and not giving you only 64MB RAM for your chip) and
will detect all the resolutions. VESA most of the time don't know much
about those resolutions because it's trying to go "wild" with 24 bit
colors and for VESA, thats what you can get unless you fiddle with
many parameters in xorg.conf file.

Your monitor can supports multiple resolutions as shown by your log,
but VESA is too dumb. Use the correct driver (which chip do you have?
if you can tell me, I'll be happy to tell you which driver to use) and
it should show all the fancy stuff.

Thanks,
Hetz

Xserver question - why VESA considers monitor Virtual size is 800x600 ???

2009-05-05 Thread Lev Olshvang


Hi,

I have only two resolutions displayed by gnome-display-properties while 
my Monitor  connected to other systems definetly have more than 2 
resolutions available.





From the Xserver Log I got the following:
