Dear Xperts,
after having upgraded my Laptop from Debian/GNU Linux 2.2 (XFree86
3.3.6) to 3.0 (XFree86 4.1) X doesn't find a mode for displaying
1024x768 pixels (the physical TFT size) in either 16 or 24 bit colour
depth (800x600 modes are found, for 8 bit 1024x768 works fine). The
video chip is a C&T65555. Win98 makes me believe that is has a
1024x768 24bit mode for the video card. Under XFree86 3.3.6 using the
SVGA-server I used to get the following modes for 16 and 24 bit
(quoted from XF86Config):
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768@52"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubsection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768@31"
Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubSection
# 1024x768 @ 52 Hz, 42.61 kHz hsync
ModeLine "1024x768@52" 60.00 1024 1056 1216 1408 768 782 788 822 -HSync -VSync
# 1024x768 @ 30.6 Hz, 25.15 kHz hsync
Modeline "1024x768@31" 35.41 1024 1056 1216 1408 768 782 788 822
However, XFree86 4.1 doesn't find a 16 or 24 bit mode for 1024x768.
The above modes do not work any more even if I force X to use them
("use_modeline"). There is no difference regardless if I use a virtual
screen size of 1280x1024 or not. Here is my XFConfig-4 (without forcing
a mode) and the X-server's messages follow below:
