The most likely reason would seem to be that he's driving an LCD display with it and it's native resolution (and maximum resolution) are the 1680x1050 he requests. (I note that 1680x1050 displays seem far more common these days than 1600x1200, and I'm really glad I got my ViewSonic VP201b, which is 1600x1200, when the getting was good, if somewhat pricey.)

Seems like i'm stuck again. Thanks for any further information! I think this will do it for you: from: /915resolution/README.txt 6. My xorg.conf has the following screen definition : Section Screen Identifier Screen 1 Device device Monitor LCD DefaultDepth 16 Subsection Display Depth 16 Modes 1280x800 EndSubsection EndSection 7. 915resolution must run before the X server is started. ^ (That means EVERY time and with [mode] [w] [h] [color]) So I don't need to do this every time I put it in my startup scripts. Where these scripts are very from distribution to distribution. I'm running SUSE 9.2, so I put the definition in /etc/init.d/boot.local: #! /bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 2002 SuSE Linux AG Nuernberg, Germany.

Start up the X server Now I bet you have solved the puzzle and have a very good looking display Maan, I'm getting desperate. I feel as if i've tried everythingdo i need to buy a Nvidia card or what? :( I've followed your instructions, I've followed the instructions on http://roland-lopez.blogspot.com/2007/03/auto915resolution-ubuntu-resolution-fix.html (I even changed the init path to init.d/rc2.d) I've tried different other things but my screen is stuck on 1280x1024.

When we had this same issue a few months ago, one of the group said that Xorg is correctly written to get the parameters from the chipset itself. Some chipsets do not correctly report their options, so Xorg.conf cannot determine the true required parameters. For Intel chipsets (among the guilty ones) the 855resolution module was written, then modified to get the 915resolution module. Although the discussion was prompted by another list member, I was struggling with this problem at the time (I have a 945G chipset), and the discussion helped me get my 1280X800 laptop LCD set up properly. Search the archives for 915resolution. Somewhere in there is a link to a 915resolution web site that should clear things up for you.

More information at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269052 Ok David, I patched and 915resolution -l gave exactly above ouput ...i started sax2 to enter the mode but the drop-down to change the resolution and the color depth were disabled :o Anyways, i opened xorg.conf and wanted to change the screen section myself. i put 1680x1050 in every mode and put defaultdepth 24 - restarted x and it came back up all screwed-up :( How do I connect the xserver to the patched BIOS mode? When I start Sax2 it actually says: The configuration is Framebuffer based and your system does not support changes for resolution and/or color settings. - Huh? What's this, anyways, i created a new modline with gtf: desktop-reg:/home/reg # gtf 1680 1050 60 -x # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz Modeline 1680x1050_60.00 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync But I'm not really sure if i should put it in there since it looks quite different to the other modes and i don't wanna break my monitor... my other lines look like this: Modeline 1280x1024 141.82 1280 1376 1512 1744 1024 1025 1028 1070 Modeline 1280x1024 130.17 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1066 Modeline 1280x1024 120.01 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1063 Modeline 1280x1024 114.50 1280 1328 1360 1440 1024 1027 1034 1061 +HSync -VSync Modeline 1280x1024 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 Not sure if should just add it on top.

Re: [opensuse] Intel 965G and 1680 x 1050
[snip] Ron, Have a look at the 915resolution commands a little closer. I don't recall a ForceBios option being involved at all. You will modify your video bios as root from the command line and it will involve replacing a video mode like '4c' with 915resolution. (i.e. # 915resolution 5c 1400 1050) See: http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/08/20/absolute-beginner-guide-91 5resolution/ But David, It only gives me following modes: [shell] desktop-reg:/home/reg # 915resolution -l Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.2 Chipset: 965Q BIOS: TYPE 1 Mode Table Offset: $C + $268 Mode Table Entries: 27 Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel Mode 3c : 1920x1440, 8 bits/pixel Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel Mode 4d : 1920x1440, 16 bits/pixel Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel Mode 5c : 1920x1440, 32 bits/pixel desktop-reg:/home/reg # [/shell] There's no 1680x1050 mode... :( what do you recommend now? :o Thanks! -- chEErs Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Restart your X and see what you have. Don't forget to make a backup of your xorg.conf file too.
