<p>Vyrtualx: /* framebuffer at 1680x1050? */</p> <hr /> <div>Hi -<br /> I'm having major trouble installing linux on my T60 intel core 2 duo with ati mob. radeon x1400. Here are the issues i encountered:<br /> 1. Failure to partition my hard drive (either from text installation nor with partition magic 7)<br /> 2. Installation freezes with screen/resolution error, stating it will restart within 2 minutes - same with Ubuntu 7.1 and Fedora 8<br /> 3. Installation with Alternate installation of ubuntu 7.10 stopped at partition b/c it cannot follow through with the partition (error)<br /> 4. Fedora 8 installation DVD does not work but Live CD does load into the Fedora Live desktop. Though when I tried to install it from here, I still ge the error with partition. <br /> <br /> Please give me any kind of input/suggestions or point me to the right forum where I can read more into it. Thank you so much!<br /> ===========================================================================<br /> <br /> <br /> == framebuffer at 1680x1050? ==<br /> hey guys - did anyone of you get the framebuffer to 1680x1050?<br /> vesafb works well with 1280x1024, but not more.<br /> 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 :(<br /> (yes, I posted this question already to [[Category_talk:Z61m]], but never got a reply there)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> 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. <br /> --[[User:Jescombe|Jescombe]] 15:40, 28 August 2006 (CEST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Use lower color depth -- just added an entry into main article i use 1400x1050 and highcolor (16bit)<br /> :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)<br /> ::Well, after googling I found 0x13b, 0x142, 0x145 and 0x148, adding 0x200 and booting -&gt; 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)<br /> :::Hadn't looked at this for a while, but just tried again with vga=0x344 and appears to be working fine.. (Note - haven't tested with fglrx or the avivo X drivers yet, but the vesa X driver is ok).--[[User:Jescombe|Jescombe]] 15:40, 28 August 2006 (CEST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> 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.</div>
