Re: LXDE on IBM R30 notebook - VGA problem

Hello, something worked out something not :) This changes made screen resolution up to 1024x768 but the size on the screen is the same as on the first picture. Actually, moving the mouse around is moving the gui. If mouse is on the top of the screen, I can't see the bottom of the screen and vice ver...

Re: LXDE on IBM R30 notebook - VGA problem

Thanks, I do have this driver installed: xserver-xorg-video-trident Manual gives output as you posted: http://man.flashnux.com/en/debian/6/6.0.1/man4/trident.4.html xorg.conf indeed set values as in manual, all of them are commented. I guess this may be enabled: Option "VideoKey" "int...

Re: LXDE on IBM R30 notebook - VGA problem

Just another caveat. You don't have to listen if not interested. I run H2's inxi and smxi scripts on my AntiX testing and unstable Debian installs. I install correct video drivers via sgfxi script which is included when one installs smxi. I've just tried sgfxi, very smart script indeed. No luck, go...

Re: LXDE on IBM R30 notebook - VGA problem

rokytnji, thanks for you answer. VGA card is Tridend Microsystem CyberBlade/i1 If I understand correctly, lxrandr is doing almost as xrandr. It renders gui within the same space, but doesn't stretch the picture. Sgfxi might be interesting, hope that there is enough support out of ATi and nVIDIA driv...

Re: LXDE on IBM R30 notebook - VGA problem

Also, tried with this solution that worked out for me when had a trouble with a resolution:

Code: Select all

~# cvt 1024 768

Code: Select all

~# xrandr --newmode  "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vcync
Got error:

Code: Select all

Failed to get size of gamma for output default

LXDE on IBM R30 notebook - VGA problem

Trying to put in use an old labtop IBM R30 with 64 Mb RAM. Debian 6 LXDE is successfully installed and it works with a decent speed, better then I expected. Problem is with a resolution, actually, screen is not completely used, about 1/3 of the screen is black, and in the middle is GUI. Tried with a...
