[XFree86] intel i830
Hello All-- I recently switched over from FC1 to Debian Woody (last weeks nightly build/netinstall), and ran into the same problem I had when I put RH on my laptop 2 years ago; X just won't start. Right now I'm trying to get framebuffer to work because I think that will be easiest; back when I installed RedHat 7.3 on my machine, it took about 20 hours of patching the kernel and patching XFree86 to get it to work, and I dodn't feel like doing that all over again. The video card is an intel i830 with 8 MB of video ram. The screen is an LCD with a resolution of 1024x768. I don't really care which kernel I run; I have 2.4.26 and 2.6.6 compiled with all the appropriate drivers, I think. Framebuffer is compiled into the kernel as well as all the i830 stuff, but /dev/fb0 cannot be found by X. I tried to use the i810 drivers, but got an error message that said it can't find the video card. Any comments, suggestions, or ideas? I'm pretty much open to anything. I've included XFree86.0.log (started up on the 2.6.6 kernel) and XF86Config-4. Thanks, Bryan This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.

Well, from what I gathered from the source code, the check for those modes takes place before checking the modelines, but only under very specific conditions. Since I'm not _that_ familiar with this code, it'll take a bit of time to figure it all out, but I'm sure we will.

Re: [XFree86] how does X find modelines?
I dunno If I have really thanked you for the help, but thanx. This has been frustrating me no end to get this working. Now, I noticed the only requested mode you have is 1600x1200 (the other line is commented out). When you tried without 1600x1200, did you uncomment the other line? If not, requested modes would be 0, and the on-chip modes will be tested first. With the 1600x1200 on, the on-chip modes probably will not be tested, since it will most likely find more modes than the 1 requested mode. The reason I have those lines commented is for testing. So instead of re writing everything out again I just comment and uncomment the lines I need. You could also try turning DCC on, to see if the behaviour changes. Unfortunately I have also tried that and the ignore EDID option. But still no luck. I just cannot seem to get X to ignore the onboard modes and what ever else goes with them and use mine. I'm assuming the problem is that the on-board modes maybe use different vsync and hsync values and or modelines. Hence the reason why X is ignoring what I say. _ Get FREE Web space - click to learn more! http://groups.msn.com/people.msnw?pgmarket=en-za ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Sadly I tried > what you said and still got no result :-( Hmm, I just had a quick (note the quick: I'm probably overlooking many things in the code here:) look at the source code of the radeon driver (which probably does something similar to the fglrx driver), and it appears that the on-chip modes are tested if: - you don't have a CRT connected, AND - no DCC modes are found OR found modes < requested modes AND - you don't have a very small display (illegal size defined in the config file if I'm not mistaken) Now, I noticed the only requested mode you have is 1600x1200 (the other line is commented out). When you tried without 1600x1200, did you uncomment the other line? If not, requested modes would be 0, and the on-chip modes will be tested first.

Re: [XFree86] how does X find modelines?
It looks like the TMDS mode checks for available modelines. For 1600x1200 it cannot find any, so it starts using the modelines you provided. In the 2nd try it _does_ find a working mode in its BIOS, so it doesn't look any further at your configuration. From what I gathered about TMDS, it's an automatic setup for XFree86: You might want to give the 1680x1050 setup another try after turning TMDSCoherentMode to off. I'm interested to hear what your results will be. I must say. I to thought it might be that some time ago. But because It worked at the other mode I never gave it another thought. Sadly I tried what you said and still got no result :-( Here is the log with it turned off (II) fglrx(0): (WW) fglrx(0): Only single display is connected, DesktopOption will be ignored (II) fglrx(0): DesktopSetup 0x (II) fglrx(0): Panel ID string: 1680X1050 WSXGA+ (II) fglrx(0): Panel Size from BIOS: 1680x1050 (**) fglrx(0): PseudoColor visuals enabled (**) fglrx(0): Pseudo Color Vsuals enabled (**) fglrx(0): Overlay disabled (II) fglrx(0): PLL parameters: rf=2700 rd=6 min=2 max=35000; xclk=2 (==) fglrx(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) (**) fglrx(0): Center Mode is enabled (**) fglrx(0): TMDS coherent mode is disabled (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 1680x1050 (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 1400x1050 (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 1280x1024 (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 1280x960 (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 1024x768 (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 800x600 (II) fglrx(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 640x480 (II) fglrx(0): Total 7 valid mode(s) found.

If you are switching to a new virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f1, for example) after logging in at a graphical screen, then you'll need to tell X to start on a different display, like so: startx -- :1 or startx -- :2 if you want to start a THIRD X session.

[XFree86] Problem with hardware installation in Linux
Respected Sir, My name is Om Soni & I live in Barwani (M.P.), India. I am a new user of Linux operating system. I am very interested in Linux. So, I purchased Red Hat Linux ver. 10 (Fedora) edition of it. I have installled it in my computer. Since installation I am facing problem due to my display adaptor(Graphics Card). Whenever it goes in GUI mode my monitor turns off and its LED light becomes blinking as it does in Shut down mode. So I had to install it in text mode. I have Intel Celeron 2000 MHZ. computer with 256 MB ram and 40 GB Hard disk space with Windows 98 & Windows XP installed. I have Samsung Samtron 45Bn Monitor & Via Chipset mother board. My Windows Operating system shows that I have "S3 Graphics ProSavage DDR" Display adaptor. When I tried to install linux it probed my monitor correctly & display card as "S3 ProSavage KM133" but didn't able to start GUI mode. After installation I tried to configure XFree86Config file with these commands as root user :- (1) XFree86 -configure (2) XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new Than I tried to start GUI mode by "startx" command. It started but only in 640 X 480 display mode and 256 colors. Then I copied this new config file to /etc/X11/XF86config & restart GUI mode. It started in 640 X 480 mode with 256 colors with garbled screen. Then I tried "redhat-config-xfree86" command to set display mode as 800 X 600 with millions of colors & 1024 X 768 with millions of colors. But both setting are not working. Whenever I start Linux my monitor turns off and starts blinking. But it is working in 640 X 480 mode with 256 colors. I live in a village and here is no one who knows Linux. I am the only person who know something about Linux. So I am asking some help from you to solve my problem. Please help me in this matter so that I can solve my problem & can use Linux without any problem. Please also keep in mind that I don't have indepth knowledge of Linux so please give me detailed instructions to solve my problem. Please reply me as soon as possible. I am waiting for your reply. Thanking You. Your truly Om Soni
