resolution problem on dell mini 10 [SOLVED]

Lexion · 2009-08-18 13:04:45

I have a dell mini 10 (not 10v) with a GMA500 chipset. I'm using the vesa driver for it as the intel driver states on X startup:

fatal: No screens found

I tried KMS (from the wiki) and it fixed the resolution in the framebuffer, but not X11.

915resolution-stable (AUR) has support for the GMA500, so I have the following in my rc.local:

915resolution 54 1024 600 24

and the following in my xorg.conf (screen part only):

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Monitor Model"
    Modeline     "1024x600" 53.78 1024 1072 1176 1328 600 601 604 623 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
        ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
        ### [arg]: arg optional
        #Option     "ShadowFB"               # [<bool>]
        #Option     "DefaultRefresh"         # [<bool>]
        #Option     "ModeSetClearScreen"     # [<bool>]
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "vesa"
    VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName   "System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
    #DefaultDepth       "24" # Depreciated
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     1
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     4
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     8
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     15
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes     "1024x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

It doesn't work, so I tried xrandr:

$ xrandr -s 54
Size index 54 is too large, there are only 1 sizes

How can I fix this? I really don't care how hackish the fix is, anything goes.
