Hi all,
Sorry about that: first, I disturbed the thread, and second I wrote
1380 instead of 1280!
I know that my problem is not related to TDE. I just wanted to point
out that testing on virtual system is not necesseraly complete testing.
Anyway, I stopped trying distributions. Even if I would be able to fix my
display problem by my-self, whichever distribution, that was not the case
in a relatively short time, I prefer things that install as for a "lambda"
user.
Thanks for all,
Patrick
I have not successfully installed
neither Suse 12.2, nor Fedora
17 nor Ubuntu with TDE. Everything worked fine at 1024x768 but not
1380x1024. I think that I saw a "TDE live CD" functioning in 1380x1024,
but which one
1380x1024 is not a standard mode. Probably the video driver is rejecting
it as no match to the display's EDID report.
What is your output from 'lspci | grep VGA'?
If you've repeated a typo, and what you're after is actually 1280x1024,
and your display actually supports 1280x1024, then there are several
things you can try, some of which François ANDRIOT wrote about.
When there is no provided configuration utility to build you an xorg.conf
file easily, you nevertheless can build one manually. Try using
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI as a starter, but
with the DisplaySize line commented out if you don't wish to force DPI. If
it fails initially, try adding the following to 'Section "Monitor"':
HorizSync 28-91
VertRefresh 55-76
If you have access to the specifications for your display, substitute the
values it provides for the above.
In openSUSE (as well as various other distros) instead of putting all
configs in xorg.conf, you may find it easier to use the smaller files in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ as alluded to in
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI.
Something he also did not mention that could possibly help is putting the
video mode desired on the kernel cmdline, e.g. video=1280x1024@75 or
video=1280x1024@60.
(?), I also saw my screen saying that the
frequencies were out of range.
I unsuccessfully tryed some X related commands found in Ubuntu web site.
That is, I still dont have a clean TDE installation.
As François ANDRIOT wrote, your problem isn't specific to TDE. If you put
your Xorg.0.log file where readers can see it without wrapping (e.g.
pastebin), then someone may spot your specific problem. Likely you're
using the VESA driver and your BIOS fails to include 1280x1024. VESA is a
fallback you don't want to be using normally.
