Hi Tolga,
While I don't know the reason for the problem shown in the attached log
file, I do know what keeps you from using your Optiplex with a decent
resolution. I had the same problem.
In the BIOS, you have to tell the system to reserve 8MB graphics memory
(default is 1MB, which will bring you [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This
sounds easy to do, but the current BIOS version (A03) has a bug, so your
8MB setting is ignored, the system always thinks there is only 1MB of
graphics memory.
The solution for this BIOS bug: downgrade your BIOS to version A02. Just
download the correct version from Dell's homepage and follow the
instructions. This worked perfectly for me (I can now use [EMAIL PROTECTED]
via the DVI port, and it looks great).
Best Regards,
Christoph Jäger

Hi,
I am having problems with X on an Optiplex SX270 from Dell, using a
1900FP digital lcd screen and an Intel 82865G video card. At first, it
was complaining that there were no Video BIOS modes for chosen depth in
I810 and that a screen was found but none had a useable configuration.
It would then let me go intro X albeit a generic config one which looked
terrible. I would try to play around with the device driver/graphics
card setting but none of them ever worked.
Now it isn't even letting me do that. The last log file it generated is
attached.
Help !
Thanks,
Tolga
