| I have a notebook which has a WXGA LCD at 1280x800 ,Is it possible to use vesafb-tng just at 1280x800? or 1024x768 without strech to fit the screen? |

I don't have the hardware to test it, but I'd imagine that you'd be able to... as long as it's pulling the correct EDID data; vesafb-tng covers several atypical modes.
Drop Mike Basinger a line... His post from another thread (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=206778&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=216)
suggests you should be able to get your widescreen LCD working.

Got it working, I have a wide screen laptop, and I finally found a vga setting it liked.

Got an ATI card? I got an Radeon 9200 working on a 1280x800 laptop panel. The kernels radeon framebuffer driver recognises the resolution at boot. It's actually very easy, because you don't have to setup anything yourself

This is what I use to get the 1280x800 resolution: | Code: | | kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/hda4 video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,1280x800@80 splash=silent,theme:default |
I tried the radeonfb as well but then my notebook froze when I left X

It seems most or perhaps all users that have managed to get 1280x800 working use ATI graphics. I have a laptop with nvidia graphics (it's a HP nx9105 a.k.a. Compaq R3000) and I don't know of anyone that has managed to get the correct resolution for this screen working. It works just fine in 1024x768 but that is admittedly quite blurry. If anyone has any helpful pointers I'd love to hear them.
