Edit: The HSync actually _was_ out of range, minimum HSync should be 46, not 50! But maybe this post will help some people, so I won't delete it 
Hi!
I'm using the open source ATi drivers, and I'm trying to get my Thinkpad A31p with a FireGL 7800 graphics adapter to run the resolution 1360x768 on a plasma screen. It uses VGA, and Windows XP on the other boot partition with PowerStrip managed to run this screen at 1360x768 adding a custom resolution to the drivers. As far as I figured, you could make a modeline out of the information from PowerStrip, and I came up with | Code: | | Modeline "1360x768" 85.478 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771 777 795 +hsync +vsync |
which should be the same as Windows XP uses.
But for one reason or another, xorg/radeon-driver will not under any circumstance accept the 1360x768 modeline when used with MergedFB, and the plasma stays black. Xorg.0.log complains about | Code: | | (II) RADEON(0): Not using mode "1360x768" (hsync out of range) |
I've tried just about everything when it comes to fiddling with enabling/disabling DDC and EDID, and also setting arbitrary high settings on HorizontalSync-settings, but the error still comes. What am I missing?
My reference for this setup was http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver

The same thing happens if I unplug the VGA cable and starting X with the same xorg.conf. Output to my main LCD panel always works.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
Edit: Fixed, see top of post. |
