Hy guys,

First, Alain, Andrew, Christian and others, thanks for the great job!

I still could not make nor 855resolution (both versions) neither 1280patch work on my 855GM.

In my machine, there are only two modes available: 800x600 and 640x480. I would like to have 1024x768 (I think my LCD can not on higher resolutions).

Before patching the vbios XFree lists all the modes "855resolution -l"  (v0r2, since v0r1 shows crazy values, as the ones on L.Jensen message http://www.mail-archive.com/devel%40xfree86.org/msg06124.html) finds, but some of then have a "*" at left of the mode name (actually, 800x600 and 640x480) and others not:

*Mode: 41 (640x480)
        ModeAttributes: 0x9b
        WinAAttributes: 0x7
        WinBAttributes: 0x0
          ...
*Mode: 43 (800x600)
        ModeAttributes: 0x9b
        WinAAttributes: 0x7
        WinBAttributes: 0x0
          ...
Mode: 45 (1024x768)
        ModeAttributes: 0x9a
        WinAAttributes: 0x7
        WinBAttributes: 0x0
          ...

Studying the X log I realized that the modes with the "*" are the same X finds as the "Built-in":

(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "800x600"
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "640x480"

and also the same that have the parameter "ModeAttributes" set to 0x9b.

After I use 855resolution or 1280patch to replace the mode 043 (800x600) by the mode 1024x768, I notice that the * does not appear anymore in the new 043 mode, and that "ModeAttributes" is not anymore 0x9b (but 0x9a).

Checking another L. Jensen's message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/devel%40xfree86.org/msg06134.html

where he resports success with 855resolution and posts the X log file, I see that the new 1400x1050 modes he created with 855resolution do have the * and also have "ModeAttributes" set to 0x9b.

Is this parameter ModeAttributes set by the i810 driver of X based on some other information, or X only reads it from the vbios?

How can I use 855resolution or 1280patch to set "ModeAttributes" to 0x9b?

Thanks a lot for your patience.

Regards,

Sergio
