T61 monitor

[Peter Lauri]

Hi,

I have the Lenovo/IBM T61 with WXGA 14.1 inch screen and Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator 945. The max resolution is 1280x800. On my
current FC7 installation I cannot get the resolution up to this value.
Maximum is 1024x768 :( Any hints of how I can fix this?

Change your Monitor and Device sections as follows (the 2 Monitor
sections are needed!):

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x800"
        HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
        VertRefresh  59.9 - 60.1
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor1"
        Option      "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "monitor-VGA" "Monitor0"
        Option      "monitor-TV" "Monitor1"
        Option      "DRI" "false"
EndSection

The "DRI" setting is needed as otherwise some apps (like Google Earth)
make X go crazy, but if you only do simple things, you may eanable it.

Hi, I did change the things you said. However, as before (as I forgot
to mention) is that the system-config-display cannot be opened. This
is my xorg.conf content for the moment. And after that is the log for
Xorg. I am a very novice in this area, sorry for that :( But I'd
really like to use Fedora on my laptop.

Your config is really exactly the same (except for a few spaces) as what
we use here.  To be 100% sure about typos etc., I'll send you a copy of
our xorg.conf in private mail (please try that, just in case...), as
well as our (long) Xorg.0.log file.

Did you also restart the laptop after making the changes?  I'm not sure
if this is needed (normally it's not), because of that special issue
of the TV-output.

You shouldn't need to run system-config-display (that only works if
X is already running), with this xorg.conf it "just should work".

Let me know if you get it working, or otherwise send the output of
"lspci -v", as Lenovo might have changed some hardware.

B.t.w., sound on the T61 is still not working, we hope for F8 (not
tried yet), as this is said to be solved in newer versions of ALSA.

[Mauricio Pretto]

Make sure you have 915resolution installed and configured, im quite sure
that will solve your problems.

I don't think so.  I never needed 915resolution on the T61.  The standard
resolution is 1280x800 and (thus?) the video chip seems to know about this.

915resolution shouldn't be used any more now that we configure things to
use the intel driver rather than i810.  The intel driver supports native
modesetting and thus avoids the need for 915resolution.

In fact, given that we're switching to only including the intel driver
in Fedora 9, it's probably time to drop 915resolution too
