[Openchrome-users] No modes other than 640x480 on HP 2133 (896)

[Manuel Leithner]

Hello list,

I've been trying to get Xorg to use a higher resolution than 640x480. I have a HP 2133, which uses the 896 chipset according to HP, and I'm using openchrome 0.2.903. The exact output is:

> (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
> (--) Chipset P4M900/VN896/CN896 found
> (!!) VIA Technologies does not support this driver in any way.
> (!!) For support, please refer to http://openchrome.org/.
> (!!) (openchrome 0.2.903 release)

This is what Xorg.0.log says when trying to set the mode to what I specified:
> (II) CHROME(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 31.50-37.90 kHz
> (II) CHROME(0): Monitor0: Using default vrefresh range of 50.00-70.00 Hz
> (II) CHROME(0): Not using mode "1280x768" (no mode of this name)
> (II) CHROME(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (112)
> (--) CHROME(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 640)
> (**) CHROME(0):  Built-in mode "640x480": 0.0 MHz, 31469.2 kHz, 60.4 Hz
> (II) CHROME(0): Modeline "640x480"    0.00  640 0 0 0  480 0 0 0
> (==) CHROME(0): DPI set to (75, 75)

Here's the relevant part of my xorg.conf (yeah, I left the identifiers and so on at a generic value):

It's using 24 bit depth.
>(==) CHROME(0): Depth 24, (==) framebuffer bpp 32
>(--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp

I apologise for any errors in my configuration; apparently, it works for others. Googling around hasn't helped much, sadly.

Does anyone know of a way to get the resolution up to 1280x768? (or 1280x800...hell, gimme 1024x768 and I'd be more than happy)

Best regards,
