[Openchrome-users] 1024x600 panel size

[Alan Bell]

Hi,
I am working with Elonex on their webbook laptop. It has a via chipset
and a 1024x600 LCD. We were using the binary drivers from VIA patched to
support a 1024x600 resolution, but the binaries are locked to the kernel
version so keep breaking. The OpenChrome drivers seem to work OK with a
tweak to the xorg.conf to set the resolution to 1024x600, but with the
new xorg and the empty xorg.conf I think we need to fix the drivers so
it probes the resolution correctly. I think I need to patch via_modes.h,
in particular adding a line in the DisplayModeRec function. How do I
write one of these lines? What do all the numbers mean? Are there other
places I would need to add bits to support 1024x600?

static DisplayModeRec ViaPanelModes[] = {
    { MODEPREFIX("640x480"),    25312,  640,  656,  752,  800, 0,  480,  489,  491,  525, 0, V_NHSYNC | V_NVSYNC, MODESUFFIX },
    { MODEPREFIX("800x600"),    39822,  800,  840,  968, 1056, 0,  600,  600,  604,  628, 0, V_PHSYNC | V_PVSYNC, MODESUFFIX },
