| I've been, erm, "asked" to work on a little embedded box that $POE is | trialling for a POS graphical display terminal. | | Said device runs Debian - and has issues with running a graphics mode | higher than 1024x768. | | Naturally, $POE want it at 1280x720 (widescreen 16:9 ratio) | | It's running a bastardised/modified Debian Etch, as far as I can tell. | | Now, for all you Debian lovers out there. | | 1) Is Etch recent, or behind the times? The box is from HP - model | available if required. it runs an ATI embedded card - shared video | graphics RAM with the motherboard, I believe | 2) Is this mode even valid? | 3) Anyone know the magic to get this working? |
etch has problems with wide screen until you update X, even for the latest etch revision - still needs apt-get dselect-update or aptitude upgrade
