I have a new Sony Vaio laptop with a 1366x768 screen using the intel |
| 2 |
"Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" which can be |
| 3 |
driven by the xorg i810 driver. Works fine on the laptop in this |
| 4 |
resolution. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The problem I have is that many of the possible modes for this chipset |
| 7 |
return blank when xorg starts as in the example below from the xorg log |
| 8 |
- the mode I want to use is 1280x1024 for an external projector. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have (once!) been able to get 1280x1024 using 915resolution to force |
| 11 |
the mode, and two screens but I need to use clone mode so this wasnt |
| 12 |
practical (I want clone mode with the same desktop on both screens) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Can someone point me towards a solution please. It seems to me that |
| 15 |
xorg is not reading the chipset correctly. Note that ddc on or off |
| 16 |
doesnt help (and if I have an external monitor attached when xorg |
| 17 |
starts, it really stuffs things up, also ddc on or off!) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
My requirement is to use 1360x768 when standalone, or 1280x1024 on |
| 20 |
either an LCD desk monitor, or same resolution on a projector in clone |
| 21 |
mode. When doing the external thing, the laptop screen doesnt have to |
| 22 |
be 'perfect'. Currently I can do this, but only in 1024x768, which |
| 23 |
looks terrible on the ext LCD due to aliasing. |
