[solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

I have a desktop intel culv system that I'm running (basically a laptop in a mini-itx case) using intel's GMA 4500HD (GS45 chipset) for graphics I followed the wiki for installing the intel drivers here

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel

Is this wiki a bit old? It talks about using intel_agp and i915 modules....I added them, should I have? Is there a way to make sure Xorg is using the correct driver or not?


Well anyway, my basic problem comes down to this: With just the VGA connection hooked up the maximum resolution I can select (either through the Xfce display or through xrandr) is 1024x768. If I connect an HDMI cable to my monitor I can select all the way to 1920x1200 on the VGA output. If I unplug the HDMI cable it reverts back to 1024x768. I can't just only use the HDMI as I have another comp normally using that input and for some reason this machine will only output HDTV resolutions over the HDMI output (i.e. 1080p, 720p, 480p) which causes really, really, really bad overscan on this monitor (not sure why either my ATI card will output 1080p to this monitor just fine without overscan).

Thanks for any help

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

i would try to don't follow the wiki:

only install driver and add into video group your user, without any modules or other

just try .....

+pc: custom | AMD Opteron 175 | nForce4 Ultra | 2GB ram DDR400 | nVidia 9800GT 1GB | ArchLinux x86_64 w/ openbox
+laptop: Apple | MacBook (2,1) | 2GB ram | Mac OS X 10.4 -> DIED

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

Disable the output you are not using. By default it will clone, which means the res has to be the same on both screens, and if it then bugs and think you have a screen on the hdmi... Why use vga btw? hdmi is far superiour.

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

Tried removing the modules remaking the cpio, removed the vesa drivers just in case. I'm in the groups video audio wheel and power already. Still no go. I disabled the other outputs also.

Mr.Elendig, I'm using VGA because the HDMI port on my monitor is already taken up and for some reason the HDMI out on this machine will only output 16:9 resolutions and I have a 16:10 display and for some reason the overscan is so bad half the screen is off to the left of the visible screen. So I'm pretty much forced to use VGA which I am fine with. (This machine isn't exactly designed to be used as a desktop machine, I just use it as one because it is 100% silent (other than the very slight buzz of the power brick)). Great for in my bedroom to be on all the time.

I've used other distro's (tinycore mostly) on this machine and I've been able to set the resolution right out of the box.

I am able to get this resolution by looking in the log file for Xorg for the display stats and pasting it into a custom mode in xrandr and I suppose I could create a script that just redoes this everytime if somone knows how to write an xorg.conf file for the monitor I believe the modelines I need are (probably not the best way to do this but I need something):

154.0 1920 2008 2052 2200 1200 1084 1089 1125 -hsync +vsync

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

Make sure Xorg is not running and try this as root: (Ignore this if /etc/X11/xorg.conf existed)

Xorg -configure
cp /root/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Open file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (using your favorite editor)
Under the Section "Monitor"
Add something like this: (Change ModeLine according to your need)

ModeLine "1920x1200" 154.0 1920 2008 2052 2200 1200 1084 1089 1125 -hsync +vsync
Option "PreferredMode"  "1920x1200"

Restart Xorg and see if it's worked.
Run man xorg.conf for more information.

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

tried that and it still doesn't seem to work....almost looks like it tried to throw that under my LVDS connection (which doesn't have a physical connection, (and I disabled in the grub bootup).

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

Try adding this line under "Device" Section:

Option "Monitor-VGA1" "Monitor0"

If this doesn't work, add the following block before the "Monitor0" Section:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor1"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Re: [solved, hack] Can't set high res using VGA unless HDMI plugged in.

Ok, throwing "Option "Monitor-VGA1" "Monitor0" into the conf file fixed that. Still a bit of a hack but it will have to do. I guess I'll call this fixed unless someone has an idea on how to get all the resolutions to detect properly (like I've mentioned other distros haven't had this issue).

Thank you very much lives2evil...I need to learn configuring the Xorg conf files one of these days....still have a lot of playing around to do. (always been comfortable *using* a *nix machine, never really "administering" one)
