#3846: Intel_extreme driver problem on i855g ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: walera | Owner: pulkomandy Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Graphics/intel_extreme | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 7662 Has a Patch: 1 | Platform: x86 ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by pulkomandy): Patch partially applied in hrev46694. I removed the part about not switching the mode when the resolution isn't the same, because this prevented changing only the refresh rate. I'm also not sure the hack to get the native resolution set on boot is the right way to go, and as a result of removing that thing above, it will only work for the first workspace. We should find a better and cleaner way to handle that. Also removed, as mentionned earlier, is disabling the initialisation for head A wen head B is detected. The "clone" mode where the internal panel and VGA output show the same thing can be useful, and it needs both initialized. I made some style fixes in bios.cpp, but there is more work to do to get it into Haiku quality standards. I added several FIXMEs and TODOs and tried to clarify the comments. Leaving ticket open until this is confirmed working by someone who had the problem before. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3846#comment:29> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
