My understanding is that the 1280x800 mode in the i810 driver, that I just got to work on an Acer Travelmate 3002WTMi BTW, is enabled by having this mode in the BIOS and not otherwise. The rationale behind this, I have been told, is that the i810 driver for the 915GM has no chance to know about DAC:s and clock settings external to the device itself, thus it relies on the BIOS resolutions. Apparantly this is a bit going safe-safe but since it figures out the settings when it finds the resolution in the patched (by 915resolution) BIOS I guess it must be possible to add in the driver too. Maybe something expensive can break if the DAC:s and clocks are set to provide a crazy resolution, what do I know?
So I think this is by design rather than because of a bug. File it as a feature request. -- 1280x800 resolution won't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/60474 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
