With Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 beta the values are now being read with the default tdfx driver but the resulting configuration is ugly. I also tested Timo's package. Both were tested on a Diamond Monster Fusion (3dfx Banshee) and a Voodoo 3 2000 connected to a Samsung 914V.
Diamond Monster Fusion PCI manual maximums: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Samsung SyncMaster 914V LCD manual: Horizontal 30 ~ 81 kHz Vertical 56 ~ 75 Hz Optimum resolution 1280 x [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz Maximum resolution 1280 x [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (exceeds pixel clock max) Maximum Pixel Clock 135 MHz The autodetected settings were as follows: Default Hardy tdfx - Banshee and Voodoo 3: 37.9kHz 60Hz(800x600) Timo Aaltonen's package: Banshee: 55.8kHz 52Hz (1280x1024) (unusable due to extreme aspect ratio, i.e., vertically stretched) 60.0kHz 75Hz (1024x768) Voodoo 3 2000: 64.0kHz 60Hz (1280x1024) The Voodoo cards have a fundamental limitation in that 3D acceleration is only available at 1024x768 or below and only with a 16bpp depth. The defaults selected by X.org always use 24bpp which is good for graphical accuracy but useless for games. Both cards can play Chromium and Planet Penguin Racer at 1024x768 with 16bpp but are useless at 24bpp (<1fps). There is no easy way for the user to change depth as displayconfig-gtk doesn't have an option for it. ** Attachment added: "Xorg log - Banshee" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13270853/Xorg.0.log -- DDC/EDID not working with tdfx driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105629 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
