Re: [opensuse] Changing drivers on Xorg (intel card)

On 2007/08/30 20:09 (GMT-0400) Ciro Iriarte apparently typed:

Hi, replaced the "i810" driver with "intel" looking for better results
on getting the s-video output to work but the server is using a wrong
DisplaySize leaving me with a weird desktop.

I changed the config like this:

Section "Monitor"
# DisplaySize 331 207 <-- Old value
DisplaySize 344 222 <-- New value
HorizSync 30-62
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
ModelName "FD1631154WB4 LCD MONITOR"
Option "DPMS"
VendorName "CPT"
VertRefresh 43-60
UseModes "Modes[0]"
EndSection

But the x server seems to use the old value (already restarted it many
times), from the logs:

(II) intel(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) intel(0): clock: 68.9 MHz Image Size: 331 x 207 mm <-- still
getting the old values
(II) intel(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1301 h_sync_end 1333
h_blank_end 1408 h_border: 0
(II) intel(0): v_active: 800 v_sync: 801 v_sync_end 804 v_blanking:
816 v_border: 0

This is a Dell Inspiron 6400, X/SaX detects the card as "945 GM" and
the laptop specs state (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950), any
ideas?

I can't tell what your screenshot is supposed to be showing, but here are
three changes to xorg.conf that I would try if it was my problem:

VertRefresh 56-61 # try this first
# UseModes "Modes[0]" try 2nd
Option "NoDDC" # in Section "Device" for the graphics card (last resort)

I doubt DDC can work via an S-Video connection.
