Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jacmet - 11-02-08 10:39 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Isn't 915resolution only for really old Intel drivers? Shouldn't we bump the intel driver version instead? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robang74 - 11-03-08 02:55 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AFAIK 915resolutions is a user space utility which overwrite BIOS resolutions table in order to activate/use non standard resolutions like 800x480 in X (i.e.: in eeepc). Instead v86d is a user space helper for uvesafb (a kernel patch) which is useful for use frame buffer at non standard resolutions like 800x480 (i.e.: in eeepc). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jacmet - 11-03-08 03:01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yeah, but doesn't the intel driver do it's own mode settings nowadays? I atleast don't need 915resolution to run 1280x800 on this laptop ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robang74 - 11-03-08 03:22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, probably you are right but I am using Xvesa from tinyX/Kdrive which does not support these non standard resolutions by itself becuase it relay on the BIOS (AFAIK). So this helpers could be useful for those use not a specific driver in order to reduce the size and mantain compatibility with almost al cards (and kdrive does not have i915 driver but i810 only which does not work on eeepc). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robang74 - 11-13-08 23:37 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Patch n.3 should be ok.
