setting screen rez.
Hi,
now that I have X11 working under RHL 7.3, I cannot seem to change the screen resolution. It seems stuck somewhere in one of the lowest resolution settings. Thus my browser and editors come up very large and I can't see whole documements like I can under an XP boot.
I have a SiS 650 graphics chipset on a HP Pavilion 540n computer. I got a link to a patched driver from this group (thanks!).
I have tried changing the Screen settings and Display settings in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, but cannot get the resolution to change.
below is a snapshot of that section of the file;
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "SiS 650"
Monitor "Vivitron 1776"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Modes "640x480"
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
# Modes "1280x1024" "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

********************
Here is the section on the device driver:
Section "Device"
Identifier "SiS 650"
Driver "sis"
# VideoRam 256
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
*********************
Also if I try to enable the "VideoRam" section ( the chipset has 32 Megs), it prevents X from coming up.
Any help would be appreciated.
best regards,

Re: setting screen rez.
Hi
Your configuration said
> DefaultDepth 16
so check out Depth 16.
> Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
Looks like the first candidate resolution is 640x480.
Why don't you change this line?
Then if your X Window is up, try xdpyinfo to see your current resolution and depth.
And also /var/log/Xfree86.0.log give you more information such as how many video RAM your X Window recognize.
Good luck

Re: setting screen rez.
Hi Mark,
SiS 650 is not yet supported by XFree86 4.x. That seems to be the reason why the 32 meg video RAM is not accepted.
-> http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status30.html#30
If you want to be a beta-tester for future XFree86 releases, I found this on Google :
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xfree86-list/2002q2/000374.html
Otherwise, you will find an "official" driver here :
http://www.sis.com/support/driver/linux.htm
It was developed for XFree86 4.0 and 4.1 but in my op??nion, it should work with 4.2.
Good luck.
