I installed Nevada Build 31 and it includes Xorg 6.9 RC4. The updated i810 driver has much better 915GM support than the one included with Xorg 6.8. However, there's one annoying problem. The driver automatically probes the monitor to get its refresh rate. My monitor, a Dell LCD, says it can handle 1280x1024 at up to 75 Hz so it sets the refresh at 75 Hz. The optimal refresh rate for this monitor is 60 Hz. I set the "VertRefresh" option in xorg.conf to 60 but the driver ignores it.
Does anyone know how to tell Xorg and the i810 driver to not probe the monitor and just set the refresh rate I designate in xorg.conf? This message posted from opensolaris.org
