Some of these laptops are built on Clevo D470W, D470V. I have a Clevo D470W, so if I can help to provide datas (modelines for example) to place an entry in hwdata, i will help. I usually set up my Fedora with 1024x768 Gneric LCD, and after change the display resolution manually in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hwdata-0.109-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure the display with system-config-display Additional info:
Yes, have a look at the other hwdata bugs, to see what information is needed and how to retrieve that information automatically from your system (if possible). Marking NEEDINFO.
Okay. There are at least two types of panels: 1) Samsung LTN170W1 http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/TFTLCD/NotePC/LTN170W1/LTN170W1.htm 2) LG.Philips LP171W01 http://www.lgphilips-lcd.com/en/product/notebook.html?tg=view&idx=147 Both of them has a 1440x900 16:10 aspect ratio. The line in the MonitorsDB can be: Generic LCD Display; LCD Panel 1440x900; 0; 31.5 - 100.0; 59.0 - 75.0
Sorry, the correct line with dpms info is: Generic LCD Display; LCD Panel 1440x900; 0; 31.5 - 100.0; 59.0 - 75.0; 1 Thes LCDs are connected through LVDS port. As far as I know, this technology omitting DAC, so the vertical and horizontal freqs are irrelevant.
Added, will be in 0.116-1.
