Just tested this. However the results were not conclusive. It looks like the driver did notice the specified mode and used it - because the display's refresh rate did get adjusted and the overall resolution is correct. However the display timings are slightly "off", the image is stretched a few pixels off the right edge and a few lines off the bottom edge. Yet the same modeline given to "video=" in combination with my controversial disable-fixed-mode patch however produces a perfectly aligned image. There might some other affect here. I'm not testing in the same git repo in the two cases and there are other differences. So this problem might be unrelated to the patch. I will sort that out. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
