Hello,

I'm having all sorts of problems getting X up with my Intel Extreme
(motherboard-based) video card under FreeBSD 4.6.2 with anything other than
vga resolution.

It runs but I only seem to get a VGA screen resolution of 640x480. I've
looked through every similar situation on the web that I can find but I
can't see any similar problems that don't suggest approaches I've already
tried.

I've appended from my XF86Config and XFree86.0.log file but I don't know
enough about the vesa driver to figure out what I should do.

It seems like the vesa driver can find the right modes based on the log
output, and I have the config file set up for them but I can't seem to get
any mode other than vga.

P.S. Please cc' to curtis@galtcapital.com since I'm not on the list.


********************************************************************
Configuration details from XF86Config  and output from XFree86.0.log
********************************************************************

My monitor is set up properly and supports the desired resolutions. I have
the screen set in XF86Config to:

>    HorizSync   30-90
>    VertRefresh 40-150

and have verified that this is the XF86Config that X is using to start with.

I am using the 'vesa' driver as per Intel's support website since there is
no specific driver for the Intel Extreme chipset yet for XFree86.

>   Section "Device"

>   	# unsupported card

The screen is set to:

	Section "Screen"
		Identifier  "Screen 1"
		Device      "Extreme Intel"
		Monitor     "Dell"
		DefaultDepth 16

		Subsection "Display"
			Depth       8
			Modes       "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
			ViewPort    0 0
		EndSubsection
		Subsection "Display"
			Depth       16
			Modes       "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
			ViewPort    0 0
		EndSubsection
		Subsection "Display"
			Depth       24
			Modes       "1280x1024"
			ViewPort    0 0
		EndSubsection
	EndSection

I tried setting the "1280x1024" as the first mode for depth 16 at that
seemed to make no difference.

***************************
Extracts from XFree86.0.log
***************************

The VESA driver seems to recognize the modes:

	(II) VESA(0): Supported VESA Video Modes:
	(II) VESA(0): 720x400@70Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 640x480@60Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 640x480@75Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 800x600@60Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 800x600@75Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 1024x768@60Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 1024x768@75Hz
	(II) VESA(0): 1280x1024@75Hz

And then finds the desired mode as its first entry:

	(II) VESA(0): Searching for matching VESA mode(s):
	Mode: 107 (1280x1024)

then later in the file I get:
