External Video on Thinkpad T30

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've been stuggling to get the dsub out on the t30 to give me anything but
640x480. I need it to 1600x1200 for it to look even sane on the flatpanel
display I have (DVI doesn't work). Does anyone have the external video
working on the t30? This works under Win2K although it looks pretty
bad. Here are lines that looked insteresting from the log:

Here's what I thought would have worked (simplified for breivity):

        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"

        VertRefresh 50.0-160.0
        Option "dpms"

# 1600x1200 @ 60Hz, 75.00 kHz hsync
    Modeline "1600x1200"  162   1600 1664 1856 2160
                                1200 1201 1204 1250 +HSync +VSync

EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier   "ATI Radeon Mobility M7"
        Driver       "radeon"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier   "Screen0"
        Device       "ATI Radeon Mobility M7"
        Monitor      "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth    24

        Subsection "Display"
                Depth       24
                Modes       "1600x1200"
        EndSubsection

EndSection

I'm willing to get my hands dirty for this. Where does this radeon driver
come from exactly?

performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
