| Post subject: | Xorg and laptop display |
I installed R5E50 on a Toshiba Satelite laptop last week. I had R5D1 running well on it. I output to a TV through an Averkey 3 VGA to TV adapter. The video card is a Trident Cyber ALADDiN-T. With R5D1, I had the XFConfig4 setup to output 800x600 and was able to make this work on the TV nicely. I ran the setup with nothing connected to the CRT port on the laptop. At first it did not find the correct driver but I manually changed the xorg.conf to use the Trident driver and X came up. My problem now is the resolution. When X first starts it comes up with a screen that fills about 80% of the LCD display (I am guessing 800x600) but right before Myth starts, it drops to 640x480. I have a copy of my old XFConfig file and have tried copying the modelines but it still drops to 640x480. Can anyone suggest where to start debugging this thing? Thanks |

Look at the X log file - "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". It's really quite chatty with lots of detailed information about what it's doing and why. You can ignore most of the PCI and hardware address/port ranges stuff and look for anything about "mode" or "modes". |
