Hi, |
2 |
|

I use catalyst to create customized livecd-s with preinstalled X, |
4 |
database and web servers to demonstrate open source applications to the |
5 |
public, usually non-technical people. |
6 |
|
7 |
Some of them use laptops and/or non standard LCD displays (1280x800, |
8 |
1400x900 etc.). |
9 |
|
10 |
AFAIK catalyst uses the x11-misc/mkxf86config tool to detect and setup |
11 |
the X. |
12 |
|
13 |
The main problem is, it cannot setup the dimension properly and the |
14 |
display shows an ugly, stretched image, which is not really looks good |
15 |
on a presentation. |
16 |
|
17 |
Example: the X uses 1024x768 on a 1280x800 display. |
18 |
The result is a working, but ugly X. |
19 |
|
20 |
My question, is that possible to improve it? |
21 |
|
22 |
I read that, the author of mkxf86 knows this issue and he/she is open to |
23 |
improve it, but I do not know his mail :) |
24 |
He wrote, this is hard-wired to make it cross-compatible. |
25 |
|
26 |
Anyway, what about that to look into ubuntu/mandriva, how they solved |
27 |
this issue? |
28 |
I know, for example the i915 chipset has a problem, which needs a bios |
29 |
patch to get it work (it is a crap, I have this on my laptop). |
30 |
|
31 |
I'm pretty sure, this is not a trivial task, but it would be really |
32 |
good :) |
33 |
