> I looked at this tool. It allows me to patch the bios table w/ resolution and bpp value - but not with the rest of the mode line timings. How can I change that? |

It seems, that you can't. |

All the Linux-stuff is using the BIOS to switch modes. Also see this page: |

Question: Is the BIOS still used for mode setting? |

Answer |

Yes, the direct mode setting work isn't finished yet, and therefore the |
| 11 |
released driver still uses the system BIOS to select and set the |
| 12 |
graphics mode. There is an experimental version of the direct mode |
| 13 |
setting driver available via git: You're free to give it a try; it's |
| 14 |
published on the mode setting branch in the xf86-video-intel git |
| 15 |
repository. The mode setting branch supports the i810 through i945 hardware. |
