Description Stacey Roberts 2005-03-25 16:30:02 UTC

Hardware: HP XE2 Laptop

When FreeBSD-4Stable (as of two weeks ago) was installed with XFree86-4, I was
able to get 800x600 resolution on this machine. However since installing (wiped
disk / fresh install from CD) FreeBSD-5 / XORG I've not ever been able to get
this machine to run at any resolution other than that which is produced from
following the procdures in the online Handbook.

Using the same instructions from the Handbook for FreeBSD-4 / XFree86, the
defaults were sufficient to run 800x600 resolution (console / Gnome), but the
default xorg.conf does do this. Here is what the working XFree86 config file had:

Even if I try "tuning" the default xorg.conf file as per suggestions in the Handbook for the Screen section to:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth    8
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     8
                Modes   "800x600"
        EndSubSection

The above changes result in the lcd screen looking as if its over-heating or something after a few seconds - so I have to hit CTRL ALT BKSPACE quickly to prevent damage. Note that I did *not* ever have to define DefaultDepth / Modes when XFree86 / FreeBSD4 was running, so I did presume the same would apply for XORG / FreeBSD5. If this is not a correct presumption, then I'd appreciate some suggestions as to what those settings should be.

Comment 2 Dejan Lesjak 2005-08-13 12:27:33 UTC

Sorry for the late reply.
One thing you might try is specifying HorizSync an VertRefresh rates in 
Section "Monitor" of xorg.conf. There seems to be an example configuration 
for HP XE2 here:
http://www.linuxia.de/omnibook-xe2.en.html
Does the log file by any chance point to reason why higher modes are not 
chosen with default configuration obtained from 'X -configure'?
You might also have some luck by asking on questions@FreeBSD.org or 
freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org in case somebody has similar laptop and has it 
already configured.
Also the Xorg developers might advise - you can contact them by 
xorg@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list or file a bug report at 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
If it is found that a patch is needed, we can of course add it to ports.
