=== ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 ===
This is an ATI video adapter.

=== Features ===
* Chipset: ATI M54
* PCI ID: 1002:7145
* PCI Express x16
* 128MB GDDR1 video memory
* Up to 512Mb HyperMemory - ATI's name for their GPUs that utilise shared and dedicated memory.

=== Linux X.Org driver ===
Not Supported

==== ThinkPad LCD ====
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.

==== External VGA port ====
({{Z61m}}): Works, but only if the X-server detects something plugged in here, eg. before X started or after a restart.

==== SVideo port ====
??

==== DVI port ====
??

=== Linux X.org vesa driver ===

The vesa driver works out of the box. If you can't make it to show higher resolutions, you may try to use lower color depth -- the best fonts sizes on 15.4 widescreen were achieved with 1400x1050 at 16 depth (highcolor).

=== Proprietary ATI driver ===
Proprietary [[fglrx]] driver version 8.24.8 adds support for the x1400 chipset (according to ATI changelog). It works, including dualhead, 3d and video (XV) acceleration, when using the fglrx kernel module. (Without it, you get screen corruption including underlined mouse pointers.)

Sample "Device" section for xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter 0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,crt1"
Option "Centermode" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "0"
Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "off"
Option "HSync2" "31-64"
Option "VRefresh2" "56-75"
Option "UseFastTLS" "off"
Option "Mode2" "1280x1024,1024x768,800x600,640x480"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

XVideo support using the VideoOverlay option may not work with recent drivers. With version 8.29.6 of the fglrx driver, you can instead use

Option "TexturedVideo" "on"

Use the '''xvinfo''' utility to verify if XVideo support is available.

=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===
Works with the VESA driver at 1280x1024 (you have to append {{bootparm|vga|794}} to the kernel boot parameters). Does not work wirh vesa-tng at more than 1024x768 :(

=== ThinkPads this chip may be found in ===
* {{T60}}
* {{Z61m}}
* {{R60}} - Lenovo R60 contains X1400 chipset

Mar: /* framebuffer at 1680x1050? */

== framebuffer at 1680x1050? ==
hey guys - did anyone of you get the framebuffer to 1680x1050?
vesafb works well with 1280x1024, but not more.
maybe with vesafb-tng from [http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ dev.gentoo.org/~spock]? the patch fails here with 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 :(
(yes, I posted this question already to [[Category_talk:Z61m]], but never got a reply there)

----
I've not been able to get vesafb above 1280x1024 either, and didn't see any screen output from vesafb-tng when I tried it.

----
Use lower color depth -- just added an entry into main article i use 1400x1050 and highcolor (16bit)
:Hm, which vga-mode is it -- what vga=XXX did you append to your boot-params? --[[User:Zhenech|Zhenech]] 14:39, 15 May 2007 (CEST)
::Well, after googling I found 0x13b, 0x142, 0x145 and 0x148, adding 0x200 and booting -> only 0x145 works and fglrx isn't able to initialize the display afterwards, also tested 0x144 and 0x143 with same results. :( --[[User:Zhenech|Zhenech]] 15:44, 15 May 2007 (CEST)

----
Sorry, my ignorance. I was talking about the X vesa driver, not the vesafb kernel framebuffer. Better do better reading from now on. :-( I removed the entry from the article.
