This is my first time posting to the list as I have never had to use such new hardware J. We are getting the latest source from cvs now, but while we wait for it, I thought it would be a good idea to post, since I'm really not sure what the problem is At any rate, We have a gateway laptop: 305X Model #m305crv which has the Intel 852GM chipset (http://orpheus.music.uh.edu/~justin/gateway) . We cannot get more than 800x600 at 16bpp. I know the following patch is not specifically for 852GM, but: 8 October 2003: A patch based on Christian Zietz's code to tell the video BIOS about extra video memory that has been allocated was committed to the XFree86 CVS trunk. This should help with many 825GM/855GM laptops that were previously limited to video modes requiring less than 1MB of video memory. Does this have anything to do with what is going on? Here is some more information (also, go to http://orpheus.music.uh.edu/~justin/gateway for a dmesg and the kernel config file ) David Dawes said on http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html (Last modified: 20 October 2003), that other platforms other than LINUX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, were not tested. I may send this to him, but I thought it more appropriate to start on the xfree86 list. We have used this patch and still cannot >800x600 @ 16bpp Thanks, _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
