[solved] asus 1001px / r101 squashed resolution

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-26 20:10:22

hi,

firstly, wow!! long time lover of arch, but just put it on this netbook (archbang) and everything worked straight out of the box, except the sound which was easily remedied from this wiki even stuff that kubuntu couldnt manage, like the multi touch touchpad, and a solid wireless connection!!

my issue is screen res. in winxp which shipped wit this netbook, it runs at 1024x600 which looks absolutely fine, so i set my xorg up as below;

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x600_75.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection

it looks like it is running at 1024x768 and all squashed!!

what have i missed????

thanks

On my 1001P, I don't use an xorg.conf at all and my resolution (1024x600) is detected and set automagically

haha "automagically"!
er, well i will remove my xorg then
as u have one, have u managed to get the audio socket to work?? my internal speaker is fine, but would love to plug decent speakers in

skunktrader · 2011-01-26 20:32:54

Run alsamixer and make sure that "Headphone" is not muted

right, removed my xorg, no difference tho and restarted any other ideas??

also, i checked alsamixer 1st, everything is up and unmuted! the internal speaker doesnt stop when i plug something in.

karol · 2011-01-26 21:01:25

I think you need to mute - i.e. turn on - the headphone jack sense to mute the internal speaker and let headphones / external speakers take over.

What video driver are you using?

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-26 21:11:11

haha just as you replied i had been playin with alsamixer exactly like that! muting and unmuting all the channels in various combinations, tried muting master, headphone, speaker, pcm & mic boost and unmuting them in various arrangements, but could not get sound out of the jack!

never sure the best command to list that but

lsmod | grep video
uvcvideo 53488 0
videodev 39124 1 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat 13562 2 uvcvideo,videodev
video 15889 1 i915
output 1448 1 video

hmmmm i seem to be breaking things here!!
installed the intel driver, deleted my xorg.conf and restarted x, x started with the vesa driver, put xorg.conf back but swapped the word vesa for intel in the drivers option, x failed to start, so deleted xorg.conf again, and removed the vesa driver with pacman, bad move!!! ruined everything!!
obviously x failed, couldnt fix it by reinstalling the vesa driver with pacman as it said there was a missing dependency n i couldnt connect to the net cos im purely on wireless, so went into windows, downloaded the vesa driver, jumped back into arch, pacmaned the new driver, put the original xorg.conf back, and all came back alive except a few things missing!! 1, sound has disappeared & 2, the touchpad has lost its multi touch
.
.
.
.
and im still on the vesa driver!!! am i being completely stupid?? or has xorg really changed that much in the last 3 years since i played with it??
help?

edit
just noticed that the vesa driver was 2.13 and before i had 2.3, so just sorted that, but no improvement on anything!!

The vesa driver will get you only vesa resolutions (640x480, 800x600 etc.) and yes, you need an Intel one.

What's the output of

pacman -Qs ^xf86-video

now?

hiya,
after last nights mini fiasco, i just reinstalled, as it had only taken me around an hour to get to wer i was yesterday and started this thread, so now i am back to exactly wer i was, everything is fine n dandy except i am on vesa drivers on a silly res;

pacman -Qs ^xf86-video
local/xf86-video-vesa 2.3.0-3 [0.07 MB] (xorg xorg-video-drivers)
    X.org vesa video driver

so i just need to get the intel drivers running, but obviously, i messed that up last night! last time i played with video drivers was before hotplugging, grub2, and everything else that has turned up in the last couple of years! my normal plan would be;

pacman -S xf86-video-intel
leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf -> then change

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "vesa"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

to

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

then just restart x

no? thanks so far by the way mate, appreciate the help

karol · 2011-01-27 19:55:06

Run 'pacman -Syu' to get everything updated and just install the Intel drivers and don't do anything with xorg.conf yet.

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-27 20:10:39

right

powerpill -Syu
powerpill -S xf86-video-intel
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/backup
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then restarted x
am still on the bad res?

karol · 2011-01-27 20:21:00

Looks like it should have Intel Graphics Accelerator 900. What's the output of 'lspci | grep -i vga'?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_Eee_PC_1001px says Arch should run w/o a problem.

What WM/DE are you using?

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-27 20:29:38

Intel GMA 3150

lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller

openbox

n yeah, i read that article to get everything else working on it, but obvs not true unless am missing something silly

edit
ooooh i did notice in my grub.cfg for grub2, xorg=vesa if that effects anything?? always had grub 1 i the past, but thought may as well get with the program n go wit grub2

What's the output of 'xrandr'?

If you're using Archbang, maybe you should start with their forum.

Edit: I have no idea how grub2 works, but 'xorg=vesa' sounds like it may have something to do with your problem :-)

yeah, ill post in archbang forum, see if anyone there can help, might change that xorg=vesa to xorg=intel first, see what happens,

xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm

Doesn't look like you're using the intel drivers.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-27 20:48:56

yeah, changed the xorg=vesa to intel n no difference! archbang forum, here we come!

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-28 13:30:54

in case anyone was interested in a solution, seems like ther might be one not far off - http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1155#p1155

ninjaprawn · 2011-01-28 18:32:00

simple solution in the end, after installing the correct drivers, it was grub2's fault lol
in /boot/grub/grub.cfg just delete xorg=vesa and nomodeset

this got the intel drivers running with no xorg.conf at the correct res it just broke my brightness ajustment buttons, they just make the screen flash wen pressed!! but the screen still gets dimmed by xfce power management after left a few seconds!! thanks everyone for the help

karol · 2011-01-28 18:36:18

'nomodeset'?? Yeah, that makes sense ...
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … Setting.29

and make sure that you do not use the "vga=..." property nor "nomodeset". Now reboot, and Xorg will work.

Glad you got it fixed :-)
