real xorg log
Sorry, the first attachment is actually the xorg.*conf* file, not xorg log, though I'm attaching that too now.

sax log
Hope I interpreted the release note there correctly, but: a 'sax2 -r -m 0=i810' fails to start and the sax log says "no screens found". Is there anything I can do to get a reasonable resolution on the monitor?
965GM is no longer supported by i810 driver. So this cannot work. Instead use the PreferredMode workaround mentioned in the other bugreport. Thanks for the hint. I tried to change it but I still end up with 800x600, and I can't gather much from the xorg log file (at http://pastebin.ca/918345 ). My xorg.conf looks like this now, too: http://pastebin.ca/918348 I unfortunately have no idea about whether the hsync/vsync stuff needs to be changed (or how). Is that the problem? Considered trying the 'DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_TMDS-1' but I'm not sure what's meant here. Sorry! > Option "PreferredMode" "Modes[1280x800]" Should be Option "PreferredMode" "1280x800" instead. Unfortunately this only helps for using a VGA output, but it seems you're using a DVI-D output. This is rather tricky at the moment, i.e. configure it at runtime with xrandr, but reserve before more memory with Virtual in xorg.conf. Well, this issue is still a duplicate of Bug #257746. > Unfortunately this only helps for using a VGA output, but it seems you're using a DVI-D output. Yeah, it didn't change the resolution. > This is rather tricky at the moment, i.e. configure it at runtime with xrandr, but reserve before more memory with Virtual in xorg.conf. Does this mean it's just not possible at the moment? Because of the way it looks (like this: http://picpaste.com/snc10933.jpg ) it's just a complete blocker. Should I be complaining upstream? Really need the computer to work with Linux :( As I've said it should be possible, but it's tricky. Is there any chance you could walk me through the steps? (didn't really follow what was meant by the above, sorry! Or on the mailing list if it's more appropriate?). I really would be eternally grateful :-) Check with xrandr which output you need to specify with xrandr --output <output> --mode 1280x800 If this doesn't work (not enough memory available), add Virtual 1280 800 to all SubSection "Display" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. > xrandr --output <output> --mode 1280x800 So something like: xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode....? I get no error but it doesn't seem to change anything either. Just tried the openSUSE 11.0 Alpha2 live CD and the resolution is detected *perfectly*. What's really strange though is that there's only 800x600 in the config file: http://pastebin.ca/918876 Inserting that config file into my 10.3 installation changes nothing though :( > xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode....? Right. Is 1280x800 mentioned as available resolution in "xrandr" output? > Just tried the openSUSE 11.0 Alpha2 live CD and the resolution is detected > *perfectly*. What's really strange though is that there's only 800x600 in the > config file: http://pastebin.ca/918876 Xserver and intel driver have been updated for openSUSE 11.0. So some changes went in, which appearently fixed this issue. Not sure which are this though. Just finally fixed this issue :-) All I had to do all along was put vga=1280x800 in the boot options. Unbelievable :-) This indeed looks unbelievable. I didn't even know that one can also use resolution itself instead of dec or hex number for vga option. On the 11.0 CD IIRC it just went ahead, but on the 10.3's it gave an error, offered for you to "scan", but if you just press <Enter> it carries on and happily goes into the right resolution. Nice to know this. |
Created attachment 197040 [details] xorg log My dad just got a shiny new Vaio and SaX refuses to go above 800x600 no matter what values I assign to it. I have tried using the X packages from the default OSS repos and with all updates, and have now just tried the packages from the xorg73 repository, with no change. I've tried the -->LCD, VESA, and the one VAIO option with the exact same result. The native resolution for the monitor is 1280x800. linux-e582:~ # hwinfo --gfx 10: PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.301] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_2a02 Unique ID: _Znp.FJ7K+bgIY02 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Sony 965 GM" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a02 "965 GM" SubVendor: pci 0x104d "Sony Corporation" SubDevice: pci 0x902d Revision: 0x0c Memory Range: 0xfc000000-0xfc0fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff (rw,prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x1800-0x1807 (rw) IRQ: 16 (10 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00002A02sv0000104Dsd0000902Dbc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: XFree86 v4 Server Module: intel Driver Info #1: XFree86 v4 Server Module: intel 3D Support: yes Extensions: dri Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 11: PCI 02.1: 0380 Display controller [Created at pci.301] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_2a03 Unique ID: ruGf.mlUyuRzypd7 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:02.1 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Sony Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2a03 "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x104d "Sony Corporation" SubDevice: pci 0x902d Revision: 0x0c Memory Range: 0xfc100000-0xfc1fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00002A03sv0000104Dsd0000902Dbc03sc80i00" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Primary display adapter: #10 linux-e582:~ # hwinfo --monitor 34: None 00.0: 10000 Monitor [Created at fb.71] Unique ID: rdCR.EY_qmtb9YY0 Hardware Class: monitor Model: "Generic Monitor" Vendor: "Generic" Device: "Monitor" Resolution: 800x600@75Hz Driver Info #0: Max.
