Can anybody change the resolution to 1280x800?

[Janvier Pang]

Hi,

But I'm truely believe that the vesa can use the resolution.

That's because I can found such information in my log file if I use the vesa
driver:

...
(II) VESA(0): Gamma: 2.20
(II) VESA(0): No DPMS capabilities specified; RGB/Color Display
(II) VESA(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode
(II) VESA(0): redX: 0.575 redY: 0.359   greenX: 0.319 greenY: 0.532
(II) VESA(0): blueX: 0.155 blueY: 0.129   whiteX: 0.312 whiteY: 0.328
(II) VESA(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0
(II) VESA(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) VESA(0): clock: 68.9 MHz   Image Size:  331 x 207 mm
(II) VESA(0): h_active: 1280  h_sync: 1301  h_sync_end 1333 h_blank_end 1408
h_border: 0
(II) VESA(0): v_active: 800  v_sync: 804  v_sync_end 808 v_blanking: 816
v_border: 0
(II) VESA(0):  QUANTADISPLAY
(II) VESA(0):  QD15TL072
(II) VESA(0): Searching for matching VESA mode(s):
(==) VESA(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear
...

It said that the vesa found the correct additional video mode with 1280x800
resolution on my card. The problem is: how can I apply this mode?

Thanks for your kindly reply.

B.Rgds.
