The video modes that are available in the X server, are the ones that are provided by the X.Org official release. If any particular mode is missing from the X server, you'll need to generate one manually using the "gtf" utility that is part of X, and manually add the custom video mode to the xorg.conf file, as documented in the xorg.conf manpage. Once you've tested the custom video mode out and have confirmed that it works correctly, file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component, and request that your custom video mode be added to the "extramodes" database. If it is accepted, this will ensure that future releases of the X.Org X server will have your custom mode built in by default, and you'll no longer need to specify it manually. When you've filed your report in X.Org bugzilla, you should also attach a copy of your X server log file and config file to the X.Org bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments. Once this has been done, if you paste the bug report URL here, we will review the upstream report, and if the mode is accepted into X.Org CVS, we will add it to a future build of the Fedora X server as well. Okay, I've updated this bug with a link to the current Xorg bug which contains the working xorg.conf file and my xorg log file. Hope this helps. Suprised that you guys couldn't filter my comments through to them though. I've had this laptop for 2 years and I know there are tons of copies of the working xorg.conf file all over the net. This definitely shoudln't be as much of a problem as it is. How are people supposed to start using Linux if they can't even see the screen properly? Thanks, tracking https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5819 Hi Mike, Just installed Test 3 release of Fedora Core 5 and same issue. I went back to track the bug's progress and it looks like the FreeDesktop guys haven't even looked at my submission yet. This seems like such a simple issue. I'm sure a *ton* of HP ZDx000 users would love to get resolution here. Can you juice the system at all? Thanks... I've added the following to our custom mode list, however it is not included in upstream. $ cvt 1440 900 60 # 1440x900 @ 60.00 Hz (CVT) # field rate 59.89 Hz; hsync: 55.93 kHz; pclk: 106.50 MHz Modeline "1440x900" 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -HSync +Vsync |
