#5900: Large number of VESA modes missing for Intel graphic cards -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: tonestone57 | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Graphics | Version: R1/Development Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Blockedby: | Platform: x86 Blocking: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by tonestone57): I decided to quickly test my Atom 330 with i945G (older) graphics but with Debian. It listed additional modes from the Ironlake (Core i3 - newer) graphics. Leading me to believe something is really wrong - maybe Intel video BIOS issue? I will have to wait for newer Linux distros and test out Intel Ironlake again in the future. ie: older Intel graphics chips should not have more and higher resolution VESA video modes than newer Intel graphics card. Highest VESA resolution available for Ironlake is 1024x768. i945G output from hwinfo in Debian: {{{ 02: None 00.0: 11001 VESA Framebuffer [Created at bios.450] Unique ID: rdCR.NXWrGsjj2h9 Hardware Class: framebuffer Model: "Intel(r) 82945G Chipset Family Graphics Controller" Vendor: "Intel Corporation" Device: "Intel(r) 82945G Chipset Family Graphics Controller" SubVendor: "Intel(r) 82945G Chipset Family Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS" SubDevice: Revision: "Hardware Version 0.0" Memory Size: 7 MB + 832 kB Memory Range: 0x80000000-0x807cffff (rw) Mode 0x0361: 800x480 (+1600), 16 bits Mode 0x0362: 800x480 (+3200), 24 bits Mode 0x033c: 1920x1440 (+1920), 8 bits Mode 0x034b: 1600x1200 (+3200), 16 bits Mode 0x035a: 1600x1200 (+6400), 24 bits Mode 0x0307: 1280x1024 (+1280), 8 bits Mode 0x031a: 1280x1024 (+2560), 16 bits Mode 0x031b: 1280x1024 (+5120), 24 bits Mode 0x0305: 1024x768 (+1024), 8 bits Mode 0x0317: 1024x768 (+2048), 16 bits Mode 0x0318: 1024x768 (+4096), 24 bits Mode 0x0314: 800x600 (+1600), 16 bits Mode 0x0315: 800x600 (+3200), 24 bits Mode 0x0301: 640x480 (+640), 8 bits Mode 0x0303: 800x600 (+832), 8 bits Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown }}} I also should check in Haiku with i945G to see if I get access to these modes or not. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5900#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
