Apparently the driver can only initialize resolutions that are specified in the video bios, but your laptop, like mine, does not include the right setting. There is a program by Alain Poirier called 855resolution which lets you patch the video bios in memory on every start up. I added it to the /etc/init.d/xdm script and configured swsusp2 to use it too. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/ http://www.mail-archive.com/devel%40xfree86.org/msg06123.html http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html Best Regards _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
