Resolution 1280x800 not supported
Last modified: 2014-06-18 05:07:44 EDT
Description of problem: In the Resulotion Option Menu on Tab "Settings", 1280x800 is missing (but the Monitor Option Menu on Tab "Hardware" supports it) This is on a Laptop with Intel 855GM on chip graphics Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Should be fixed in Rawhide. The packages you need to upgrade to check are "rhpl" and "xorg-x11". Please reopen if this is still a problem.
I updated the packages with "yum update rhpl xorg-x11". Configuration now lets me select Resolution 1280x800, but after save and restart, the resolution ist still at 1024x768 i810 Driver Problem?
Can you attach (not inline) the generated xorg.conf file please. (Also please make sure that you actually restarted the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Del - logging out/logging in is not always enough).
Created attachment 113976 [details] generated xorg.conf
Even after reboot, X comes up with 1024x768 see attached xorg.conf
What exact release of X do get? Ie., what does "rpm -q xorg-x11" give you?
xorg-x11-6.8.2-27 I got it by doing "yum update" some hours ago.
The latest version in rawhide is -29. The latest rhpl version is -161. These two together should fix this problem. You can get them at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/ for example. I don't know if there is a yum command that will do it automatically.

What does the generated xorg.conf file look like with the upgraded rhpl and the upgraded server?

Could you check if the problem is fixed if you change the modeline from ModeLine "1280x800_60.00" 83.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -hsync +vsync to ModeLine "1280x800" 83.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -hsync +vsync Ie. delete "_60.00" from the name.
no difference (after reboot)
it works now: - the real resolution is 1280x768 not 800 (my fault) - I must use the tool "855resolution" by Alain Poirier to patch the buggy bios to allow this resolution (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/)
In that case, I'll close this bug as RAWHIDE.
