Setting video to 1024x480
Posted: Tue 08 Feb 2011, 14:40
My Sony Vaio PCG-C1F now has puppy-4.2retro running on it, but the video is having "issues"
Using the xorg driver - xvesa corrupts the consoles and will not run anywhere near this.
Have to use the "generic" driver to stop video corruption
Have run through the setup many/many times trying to get it to switch to 1024x480. I can get 1024x768 running or 640x480 but the first looses half the screen and the second looses 50% of desktop.
I have tried modding the xorg.conf but puppy seems to ignore all my mods.
I have tried putting in a mode line, changing the 640 to 1024 the 768 to 480 adding the option for 480 etc but it ignores all this.
So my Q is how do I get this video mode to work?
