How could I get a non-standard frambuffer resolution?

hk2717 · 2008-08-21 07:23:54

Hi all, I have a 19" widescreen so I really want a 1440*900 framebuffer resolution. How could I achieve that? I tried Google but did not find anything really useful.
My graphic card is Intel GMA 3100 if that matters.

Try the uvesafb or intelfb drivers instead of vesafb.

Diaz · 2008-08-21 15:05:17

just to recyscle the post, i'm tired of searching, but does anyone knows how i can achieve a 1280x800 resolution after grub(framebuffer, i think)?

my card is a ati mobility radeon 3470 hd, and i'm currently using the catalyst driver.

thanks

I would follow tom's suggestion above, since you are asking for the exact same thing as the OP.

tomk · 2008-08-21 22:32:17

Diaz - you need the radeonfb driver. Works fine for me @ 1280x800 with a Radeon XPRESS 200M.

hk2717 · 2008-08-22 02:04:08

I am sorry but intelfb is neither in the repo nor in AUR? How could I get it?

tomk · 2008-08-22 13:37:36

It's a kernel module - read about it, then load it.

Diaz · 2008-08-23 02:49:55

hey, tomk, thanks for the tip, but it isn't working. Following the thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49241 , i added the radeonfb to the modules array in mkinitcpio.conf, rebuilded the initrd and added to the grub video=radeonfb. Rebootin, and the radeonfb is loaded (lsmod), but the resolution is the same. Tried changing the video mode in the grub, for video=radeonfb:1280x800 and video=radeonfb:1280x800-24@60, but changes nothing. Added the option in modprob.conf, but it also cahnges nothing.

Any suggestion??

tomk · 2008-08-23 07:15:41

Look for related errors in dmesg - they might tell you something. It just works for me, never had to debug it.

fukawi2 · 2008-08-23 15:40:54

Shouldn't it be "vga=" instead of "video=" ?

Diaz · 2008-08-23 18:06:57

OneEyedPimp · 2008-08-23 18:16:56

have you tried what fukawi2 said. change 'video=' to 'vga=' I dont know too much about this, but that is the suggestion that makes sense. What do you have to loose?

Diaz · 2008-08-23 18:19:57

i tried to change to "vga=", but grub gives an error saying it can't parse the option.

tomk · 2008-08-23 20:10:13

vga= is for the vesafb driver. video= is for other framebuffer drivers, like radeonfb.

There is nothing in that dmesg to indicate that radeonfb is present. I get eight lines related to it in mine. The mkinitcpio.conf MODULES line uses "" and not () - that could be it. You can check if the module has actually been included in your init image with the following command:

gzip -dc < /boot/kernel26.img | cpio -t

which will give you a list of all files in the image.

Diaz · 2008-08-23 21:14:02

about the modules it is with "" not (), it was just a typo in my earlier post.

With the that command i can see that the module is in the image in the following path:
/lib/modules/2.6.26-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/aty/radeonfb.ko

i don't really understand why it is not working...

I too can't get it right. Followed method two from this instructions like you but it doesn't work. Also, have the same output as you on those commands and options on those files. I've tried add nothing to the kernel line in menu.lst (as it seemed to me they said that with method two no options would be needed) and adding "video=radeonfb:1280x800" and "video=radeonfb:1280x800-32@60". None of them worked.

I have to use vga=773 (for 1024x768) in the mean time which is not that bad.

I've also tried to read this. They mention some files that I can't find. Where in Arch is "/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb" ?

I'm using a laptop with ATI radeon mobility X700 and using xf86-video-ati, not catalyst.

OK, just to clarify again: if you're using the default Arch kernel package, add radeonfb to the MODULES= array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate your init image. THAT IS ALL - no change is required in your grub config.

carandraug wrote:

Nowhere - Arch does not install full kernel sources. You can download them yourself from kernel.org, or google it from various sites that host kernel docs.

Ok, so I didn't misunderstood after all. Still, I had no success when I tried that. I'll try to read more about it, to see where I went wrong.

just now i tried removing the files from /etc/modprobe.d/ and re-reubilt the image file, but nothing, the same.

I still don't really know why don't see anyone else with this problem but me and carandraug.

Exactly the same problem.
I literally hate not being able to do sth with my OS.
Even tough it's my first linux and I'm sitting on it for couple of hours.
