Resolution Problems on a Lenovo L191 LCD Monitor.
Hi all, I am running Lenny on an IBM Thinkpad X60 with a docking station, which is attached to a 19" Lenovo L191 screen. I have an Intel Mobile 945GM graphics card and I'm using the "intel" driver. The native resolution of my laptop screen is 1024x768, while the native resolution of my LCD screen is 1280x1024. My problem is that the resolution on my external LCD screen is is always detected at 1024x768? The monitor is always detected properly (1280x1024) when I use Etch. I can get xorg to switch the resolution to 1280x1024 by running this command "xrandr --output VGA --auto" after I login. But then I need to logout and back in again so the fonts look right. Can someone help me fix this or is it a problem with xorg not detecting my monitor correctly? Here's a snip of my xorg.conf if it will help: Snip--- Section "Device" Identifier"Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" Driver"intel" BusID"PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier"Generic Monitor" Option"DPMS" HorizSync30-65 VertRefresh50-75 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier"Default Screen" Device"Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" Monitor"Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth24 EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier"Default Layout" Screen"Default Screen" InputDevice"Generic Keyboard" InputDevice"Configured Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice"Synaptics Touchpad" "CorePointer" EndSection -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: proposal: create a documentation packages for each laptop brand-serie
I think that is a great! idea. Maybe two packages though laptop-common and laptopbrand-laptopseries. And "maybe" (just a thought) have say, laptop-common install a set of packages common to all laptops and laptopbrand-laptopseries install a set of packages specific for that brand and series as well as the other information you listed below. Then the user would have a basic setup for their laptop that worked and then he could read through the documentation to find out more information. Just my thoughts.

Problem with Toshiba 5105 laptop, kernel-2.6.4 and nvidia driver 1.0-5336.
Hello, I'm having this problem with Toshiba 5105 laptop, kernel-2.6.4 and nvidia driver 1.0-5336. There is about a 1/4 inch gap of the screen not being used on the right hand side of the screen running vertically. I used to be able to fix this problem (with kernel-2.4.x) by editing my "/etc/modules.conf" file with this: options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2 alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia But now this has no effect? (I'm using Debian "SID" with kernel-2.6.4). Even if I exit out of the GUI and stop x, and kdm and "rmmod nvidia" to unload the module and then reload it with: "modprobe nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2" to insure that the options are loaded, and then restart kdm and x it has no effect, the 1/4 inch gap is still there?

Dmitry, That definitely made a difference in the size of the fonts. They now match the screen resolution. But I still have the 1/4 inch gap. And the guys from Nvidia haven't answered me back yet, but I'm still going through my mail. I if I find a solution I post it. If you find anything else out please let me know.
