Video modes on Debian
Video modes on Debian
I have installed latest Debian on fitPc2. The major problem is that maximum resolution that I am able to get is 640x480. On this machine and same screen LG 30inch previously was installed XP, which gave me decent 1280x768. What should I do?

The FitPC2 uses an Intel GMA500 graphics acceleration. You should to insure that Debian uses the appropriate driver for this GA to be able to get higher resolutions

Re: Video modes on Debian
I've got the same problem at beginning. I solved it in this way:
My screen has a physical resolution of 1280x1024. Just use google to find the correct 915resolution-line for your 1280x768 and generate a file in /etc/grub.d like above. After this just do a "update-grub" at command-line.
After reboot, you can try "modprobe uvesafb mode_option=1280x768-16 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap" on command line.
Code: Select all
`--# cat /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf
options uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-16 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
.-(/etc)---------------------------------------------------------(root@fitpc2i)-
`--# cat /etc/grub.d/01_915resolution
echo insmod 915resolution
echo 915resolution 49 1280 1024 16
After reboot, you can try "modprobe uvesafb mode_option=1280x768-16 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap" on command line.
