Can somebody explain how to use this i810fb driver? I can't for the life
of me get it to work. I don't have any problems using vesafb on other
systems but the i810 E graphics controller doesn't seem to be supported on
this Dell GX110.

If I do something like this,

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
video=i810fb:vram:4,xres:1024,yres:768,bpp:16,hsync1:30,hsync2:70,vsync1:50,vsync2:160,accel,mtrr

It kind of just ignores it the same way it does with everything else (of
course since it does not seem to load the module, what am I doing wrong
there)

So if I manually modprobe it
modprobe i810fb vram=4 xres=1024 yres=768 bpp=16 hsync1=30 hsync2=70
vsync1=50 vsync2=160 accel=1 mtrr=1

it comes back with;
---------------------------------------------------
I810FB: fb0         : Intel(R) 810E Framebuffer Device v0.9.0
I810FB: Video RAM   : 4096K
I810FB: Monitor     : H: 30-70 KHz V: 50-160 Hz
I810FB: Mode        : 1024x768-16bpp@86Hz
----------------------------------------------------

which is great and all.... but that is all it seems to do, nor do I want
to do that every time I boot the computer. If I do something like fbset -a
1024x768-75 or anything I pick..... Screen goes blank and comes back with
the exact same thing I already have.. (nothing)

So for the most part I think I don't understand this, and my monitor seems
pretty crazy but those are the values I got from xorg.conf when I select
this Dell monitor model (which is fine under X) So what would I do here,
can somebody explain how I 'should' be able to get this working the same
way I do with vesa compatabale chipsets where all I really have to do is
add vga=0x371 and everything is fine and dandy. (I don't grasp their
documentation either, it doesn't seem to work when I follow exactly what
they say to do)

Thanks

Does this problem keep your computer running at 640 x 480 resolution? I installed FC3T1 on a Dell computer with an 828656 Graphics Controller. I could run system-config-display as root, setup the resolution, but display is still in 640 x 480 mode.
GUI ---> System Settings > Display


With the gnome-display-settings program.
GUI --> Preferences > Screen Resolution, it would not allow any choices.

I believe there was mention by someone awhile ago about this problem, I'm not sure they got an answer back or found a solution. Since it is still in test1, I assume the problem is still there.

Is this card supposed to be recognized as an 845?
