[Voyage-linux] Re: help---about the resolution of screen on voyage

[gao maomao]

OK. I give the a solution:
the key point is that your kernel should update to >=2.6.31,and your xorg
server should >=1.6.
the voyage's kernel does not include some modules such as drm,i915.You can
use debian kernel,or fedora's.
follow is  the sop:

voyage support 1024x600 resolution

suggest user follow these steps:

     1) install voyage version 0.6

2)  Modify  /etc/apt/sources.list ,update debian source version , change
version to testing version, take following as a example:

deb http://mirrors.xmission.com/debian/ testing main non-free contrib.

deb ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/debian testing main non-free contrib

update source list index:

#apt-get update

Update kernel

#apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-3-686

Install  Xorg-7.5：

#apt-get install   xserver-xorg

#apt-get  install  x-window-system-core

Install fluxbox ：

#apt-get install  fluxbox

Create .xinitrc file in  /root  directory,and add “exec startfluxbox”



Note:

After update, user must modify file /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf.

and change  “options i915 modeset=1” to “options i915”, otherwise, the next
reboot will be failed



3)    test resolution

start fluxbox:

#startx

Lauach xterm in fluxbox environment and excute the following command:

     #cvt 1024 600

The results are

# 1024x600 59.85 Hz (CVT) hsync: 37.35 kHz; pclk: 49.00 MHz

Modeline "1024x600_60.00" 49.00 1024 1072 1168 1312 600 603 613 624 -hsync
+vsync

 #xrandr --newmode "1024x600_60.00" 49.00 1024 1072 1168 1312 600 603 613
624 -hsync +vsync

Parameters are the results of  cvt command

#xrandr --addmode  VGA  "1024x600_60.00"

#xrandr --output  VGA  --mode "1024x600_60.00"
Now the VGA output screen will change to 1024x600
