Just got a blank screen with that one. I installed i855vidctl, but the video modes in the output are not correct. I browsed throught the source, and thougt if I could find out how the video modes are stored in the vbios, I could alter i855vidctl to work with my vbios, which it doesn't seem to do right now. I found some intel docs on the 855GM/GME, (I have the GME) but I didn't find anything about the layout of the vbios memory. The reason I bring this up is because my vbios does not have the 1280x800 mode in it, and I am not expert, but I assume that that has to be in there before Xorg can take advantage of that mode. Correct me if I am wrong, but would the frist step be to add the 1280x800 mode to my video bios somehow? and if so, where can I get the documentation for interfacing with my video bios. If not, and Xorg can use resolutions that are not in the video bios, what do I have to do go get those to work? -Andrew On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 17:09:33 +0200, Dejan Lesjak <dejan.lesjak@ijs.si> wrote: > On Tuesday 29 of March 2005 19:51, Andrew Marks wrote: > > On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 16:09:55 -0800, Andrew Marks <amracks@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I have a Dell 700m with the i810/855 chipset.
