[Bug 146643] Re: Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage
stoft, thanks for pointing to that bug, but it doesn't appear related to Checkmate's issue; for one thing that bug relates to -i810, whereas Checkmate is using the neomagic driver. -- Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry Checkmate, this appears to have gotten lost in the shuffle, and I've only re-noticed it now. It's too late for Gutsy-final but I'll work towards getting this out in an update. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High Status: New = In Progress -- Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 146643] Re: Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage
Only 13 days till Ubuntu 7.10! I was hoping someone would apply the changes mentioned in the links and help me test a patched version of X.Org, but this bug's fallen silent. I'm posting a proposed patch. It's a git patch for the latest xorg/xserver tree, but I believe it will apply to any recent version of the int10 code. Now I need help testing the changes. I don't know how to compile X.Org for Ubuntu. ** Attachment added: int10: Make pci_read_cfg function use X86_DI instead of X86_EDI http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9834085/int10_edi_fix.patch -- Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg Resolution detection on a Tecra 8000 laptop fails due to bad video BIOS usage. This conversation on the X.Org mailing list sums it up: Julien Cristau wrote: On Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 20:13:15 -0700, Nolan Check wrote: I own a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop. The display device is a NeoMagic MagicGraph256AV, which uses the NM2200 chipset. The monitor goes up to 1024x768. When I install Xubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 (with latest updates), it fails to detect the screen resolutions properly. It maxes out at 640x480 until I adjust the HorizSync and VertSync parameters in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The reason for this seems to be that X.Org fails to call the video BIOS function to get monitor data. (See attached /var/log/Xorg.0.log) During the VBE DDC transfer, it gets 01 ILLEGAL X86 EXTENDED OPCODE. That indicates the opcode 0F 01, correct? The INVPLG instruction. Looks a bit like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11842 . See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404885#46 Julien Wow, it's just a one-character change to the code! I'd really like to try that patch. I guess it's time for me to figure out how to compile X.Org. Note: INVPLG is probably a red herring. - I first wrote about this in bug 1371. + I first wrote about this in bug 3731. -- Resolution detection fails because of bad video BIOS usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
