Uso un portatile Packard bell con chipset video via unichrome.
Dunque ho già letto molti post su questo forum (e esteri) ma non ho trovato una soluzione. Ora il pc va solo a 800x600 mentre in live va 1280x800 come dovrebbe essere (cosa alquanto strana la cosa che mi ha fatto propendere per un'insallazione definitiva ed è da 12 ore che tento di risolvere il problema e non vorrei rimettere winzozz).
Con i driver standard vesa non va oltre l'800x600
Non posso eseguire sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (come consigliato su un altri post) perchè mi si blocca al riconoscimento della batteria sia in modalità grafica in ubuntu sia in console di ripristino dopo aver riavviato.
H scaricato lo zip dal sito ufficiale VIA e ho trovato un file .run un txt e un pdf a corredo nel pdf mi da queste istruzioni ma per me sono arabo
(io uso 8.04.1 ma non credo che i driver vadano bene comunque)
al punto 3 il pdf mi da le seguenti istruzioni
Codice: Seleziona tutto
3. Install/Uninstall VIA UniChrome (Pro) Family Display Driver
Follow the commands to install VIA UniChrome (Pro) Family display driver binary:
# sh VIA_Ubuntu710_Unichrome_GFX_v40072d.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VIA UniChrome (Pro) Family Linux Graphics Driver for Ubuntu 7.10 v40072d.........
Please choose the job you want to do:
1. Install driver
2. Uninstall driver
Select the option “1. Install driver” to install the pre-compiled driver binary package.
After installation completes, users can restart the X with “<Ctrl>+<Alt>+< >” or
running “startx” command in text mode. After entering X, users can check the log
file “/var/log/Xorg.0.log” whether the 2D/DRM/DRI driver is successfully loaded
without any error messages.
In pratica che ci devo fare con questo file.run?
Poi prosegue al 4
Once the display driver binary is installed, the Xorg configuration file has been
modified at the same time. Therefore, users don’t need to configure manually. If
users want to configure manually, just refer to the “Installation.txt” file to customize
the Xorg setting. Edit the “xorg.conf” file in /etc/X11 directory for the X Windows
display setting. Then proceed to setup different resolutions, color depths and the
video cards. Now we can use “startx” command to enter X Window.
Qui se non sbaglio dice che non c'è bisogno di modificare il file xorg.conf a mano
Poi però leggo il file insallation.txt e leggo:
Installation:
=============
1.How to Install Linux Driver and utility
1.1 Configure your hardware device when intalling Linux
1.1.1 Video Configureation
Please choose another video card, for example "S3 Savgae4
(generic)" because CLE graphic chip is not on the support
list. We will modify this configuration in step 3 for CLE
graphic chip after the installation. If you choose to
"Skip X Configuration", you could configure X after the
installation following step 1.2.
1.1.2 Monitor Configuration
The installation program will attempt to detect your
monitor to determine your machine's best display setting.
You may also enter the horizontal and vertical
synchonization ranges for your monitor. These value can be
found in the documentation for your display.
1.1.3 Custom X Configuration
Please choose your login type as "text" because we need post
configuration after the installation.
1.2 Configure your hardware device after intalling Linux
If you choose to "Skip X Configuration" when install Linux.
Please do following step...
1.2.1 Login as root
1.2.2 Check is there a link point to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86,
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg, or /usr/bin/Xorg
# cd /etc/X11
# ls -l X
If there is no link named "X", then do following..
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 X
or
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg
or
# ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg
Note:
If you skip the step of X setup when install Linux, there
will be no link named "X" in /etc/X11.
1.2.3 Run "xf86config" or other tools your distribution offered
to configure your keyboard, mouse and monitor
# xf86config
The configuration program will create the file "XF86Conifg"
or "xorg.conf" in the /etc/X11 directory. If there is the
file named "XF86Config-4", please remove or rename it.
1.3 Install Linux driver and utility
a. Install XServer or FBDev driver.
# ./aXF400b.run(a is chip name, b is version number)
b. Select "Install driver"
Uninstallation:
===============
2.How to Uninstall Linux Driver and utility
a. Uninstall XServer or FBDev driver.
# ./aXF400b.run(a is chip name, b is version number)
b. Select "Uninstall driver"
Configuration:
==============
3.How to Configure XFree86/Xorg
Install tool "vinstall" will automatically do some part of
configuration, and below is the detailed manually configuration.
# login as root
# Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config, or /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3.1 Set driver
In the Section "Device", make sure the driver is "via".
Driver "via"
for example, if you choose "S3 Savge4 (generic)", please rename
Driver "savage" to Driver "via"
3.2 Add user define resolution
If necessary, you can add extra resolution which non-define by
XFree86 default. In the Section "Monitor", add following setting
before "EndSection"

3.3 Change the Resolution & BPP
3.3.1 Change BPP
In the Section "Screen",
DefaultDepth xx
Note: xx can be 8, 16, 24, 32
3.3.2. Change Resolution
In the Subsection "Display" of Section "Screen",
For example, change to the resolution 800x600 of 32bpp
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection
The supported resolution:
"640x480" "720x480" "720x576" "800x480" "800x600"
"848x480" "856x480" "1024x512" "1024x576" "1024x600"
"1024x768" "1152x864" "1280x720" "1280x768" "1280x800"
"1280x960" "1280x1024" "1360x768" "1366x768" "1400x1050"
"1600x1200" "1680x1050" "1920x1080" "1920x1440"
Note: CLE266 not support "1280x720", "1920x1080", and "1920x1440"
Le conseguenze negative purtroppo sono notevoli, oltre alla bassa risoluzione mi ritrovo anche con i filmati che si vedono malissimo e non oso pensare ai dvd
