| I am trying to get the framebuffer and qingy to work with my 700m? Notice there is an issue with fbset resolution in 700m. Somehow the resolution generated by fbset won't work? Anyone has any fix/solution to this? Thanks in advance. |

All 855resolution does is to change one of the modes in the VBIOS to 1280x800 resolution. There are several modes that can be changed, as you can see if you run:
The key (which I was missing) is to change the right mode, that is, the mode that X thinks is 1024x768, and this happens to be mode 34. At least that's the way I understand it at this point. I'm grateful to everyone who posted on this, as it was mostly this thread that got my 1280x800 up and running. |
Interesting. The first thing I did after I downloaded and compiled 855resolution was run this
and I noticed that mode 7e was 1280x801. I briefly skimmed the README file, but, by no means dove into any code or actually tried to figure out what this program was actually doing. I just assumed it set the current mode in the vbios to the mode specified by the first parameter of 855resolution. I am still not really sure what is happening, but thought it might be worth noting that this works for me

Sure. it does.
In my 700m, I selected Dell TruMobile 1350( one minipci based on Broadcom's chipset) in customization.
I need to use ndiswrapper to use windows driver. It works great.
Even thought the Fn+F2 works out of box.
My friend got the same laptop, but with IPW 2200. He uses the native driver support, but the status of wifi does not
work. |

You can type commands but cannot see what you type or the output, unless you startx in which case X will come back. |
I'm having a similar problem. When I boot w/ vesafb all is well but once x starts it corrupts all the consoles. Stopping x doesn't even fix it. I can't get intelfb to work at all it gives :"intelfb: Cannot remap FB region." in dmesg.
Also anyone make any headway on getting more shared video memory?

I always hate quoting myself but I have answered some of my own questions 
First off to enable 64mb of ram you can set the VideoRam flag under the device section in xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 65535
Option "DDC" "on"
VendorName "Intel"
BoardName "Intel 855"
EndSection
|
Secondly I got fb console working using vesafb mode 791, I couldn't get vesafb-tng working w/o x corrupting it. This confirms someone elses post.
Finally I'd like to point out two links:
http://www.xijio.com/wiki/index.php/700m The wiki page for my 700m
http://www.700mUsers.com A forum I've set up for 700m Users. There is a linux forum on there that you should all post in
I need mods for the forum so if you're interested sign up and pm me over there.

AFAK, there is no SD Card driver support, hope somebody would like to develop one for the community,
since the specification for the chip is publically accessed through TI's website. |

|
|
I have a dell 700m as well, and everything works pretty well..
Except one thing, that being suspend to disk.
suspend to ram works flawlessly.
Now Suspend to disk almost works for me. When I suspend to disk, it goes down ok, but when it comes back up
it doesnt log back into to X as the previous user and with the previous windows open..
Instead it stops at the GDM asking for a login.
If I kill GDM before I hibernate (suspend to disk) it works perfectly!!!
So here is my question, how do i get hibernate to work with GDM ??
Note: this problem occurs for users and root.
Thanks for your help =) |

I killed gdm..
So it works for the most part, the only problem is that it doesnt come back on its Native 12x8 res, it
comes back on 10x7.
I figured out that 855resolution needed to be rerun after the hibernation.
But now X doesnt start i ll paste in the important of the log.. |

Have you tried to restart i855resolution while waking up?

Finally I got it to work.
I tried a bunch of things with vbetool savestates ... wow bad way to go.
The problem is that the hibernate script, RestartServices, portion of the script does not work.
To get 12x8 upon resuming from a hibernation to disk add this line to your hibernate.conf
| Code: | | OnResume 98 /etc/init.d/855resolution restart |
Now it works great!
There you go, my contribution to this guide =) |

I'm curious what kernel versions people are using that have Sleep / Suspend-To-RAM working.
gentoo-sources-2.6.12-* worked great, but I've been struggling with gs-2.6.13 and now gs-2.6.14. If someone has sleep working on those kernels, please post, as I'd like to know.
(Less interested in Hibernate -- it generally has always worked.  )

gs-2.6.13 work fine for suspend to ram.
But you should remove b44 module before suspending.
gs 2.6.14 is the same case, but i don't use the version
for it does not work with gnome-volume-manager for firewire external drive.

|
|
I am still trying to get the suspending to ram working right. Ive tried many configs from many places found on google, but alot of it seems out of date, or only half accurate :-/ What I have now, is that I modified hibernate.conf to use the sysfs_power_state to suspend. Now I can use the command "hibernate" and the machine sleeps just the way I want it to. Then I close the lid, and open the lid, and it wakes up, but the screen is blank.
I saw the suggestion from jameshuang and kbranch, but video-post does not seem to be in portage, and all those scripts (chvt etc) look damn dirty, so I want to stay away from that for now. I also read on many sites that you need vbetool to get this working right, but when I run it (as root) I get the error message "mmap /dev/mem: Permission denied". Which is strange, because I can cat it just fine, so I am not really sure what to do.
Also I am running acpid, but I dont really know what it's doing. Is that what I am going to need when I set it up so it sleeps when the lid closes? Maybe I am missing something simple here.. does anyone have any suggestions? |

... hrm. Would you mind making your kernel .config for 2.6.13/4 available somewhere so I can compare/constrast it with mine?
I have been removing b44 and ipw2200, but something is causing the machine to know wake up with those kernels.
Thanks!

| Can someone show me how to get DRi to work? I have it compiled as a module but I don't know how to start it(if I have too) and it's setup in my xorg from reading all the posts. When I run glxinfo though it's off. |

As long as you have the i915 module compiled, and Driver "i810" in your xorg.conf, DRI should work fine I think.
also
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 666
EndSection
is always good to have in there as well :-)
I have my configs at web.pdx.edu/~piercede/configs/ if you want to compare. |

These posts are great, and have helped me so much have my hardware working correctly.
Just as a though, I would like to get everyone involved in porting this information to a new page on the Gentoo Wiki. This way we could ensure the information is always up to date and aveliable for everyone.
Great job guys. |
