Comment 1 Russell Coker 2006-03-13 06:07:11 UTC

I have a similar problem with an Intel i815 video controller on an IBM PC.  
s-c-d doesn't offer me anything better than 800x600 resolution at 16bpp or 
1024x768 at 8bpp.  But by manually editing the xorg.conf I have it working at 
1024x768 with 16bpp. 
 
It appears that s-c-d thinks that my video device can only have 1M of video 
RAM (what the BIOS is set to) and disregards the possibility of 
using /dev/agpgart.

For all i810 resolution bugs, please try the 'intel' driver from Fedora Core 6,
and reopen if this is still an issue for you with that driver.

NEEDINFO timeout, resolving as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.  If you are still experiencing
this bug in FC6 or FC7, please reopen.  Thanks for the report!
