[intel igp] using 915resolution or xorg
will19:
Hi!, My Toshiba Portege M750 Laptop boots to a blank screen with the tiny core live cd.
I have an Intel GMA 4500MHD card and 1280x800 resolution.
"Xvesa -listmodes" lists:
Interrupt pointer doesn't point at ROM

"sudo 915resolution 50 1280 800" lists
sudo: 915resolution: command not found
how can i get the 915 extension working, and what command do i use to edit the xsession script,
if these are my solutions at all anyway?
Also, I'm planning on installing tinycore on my hard drive once I can boot the livecd. how will i need to configure my install to get my card working?
Thanks, i'm lovin' tinycore on my other system, help would be greatly appreciated.
maro:
The '915resolution' command is in the '915resolution.tcz' extension.
Without a working X server you won't be able to run the 'appbroser' GUI. I'd therefore suggest to use tce-load -wi 915resolution.tcz to install the extension from the command line. This obviously depends on having a working network connection.

wow, thanks quick response
the download worked, however 915resolution does not seem to work for me as it outputs:
Intel chipset detected. However,
915resolution was unable to determine the chipset type
chipset id: 2a408086
it looks like some guys over at puppy linux patched the 915 extension for 2a40806 / gma 4500

but i guess that doesn't help me
any alternatives, suggestions?
maro:
Have you tried Xorg? (enter the following to install: tce-load -wi Xorg-7.4.tcz)
Edit: OTOH, I don't see a reason why you should not be able to download the patched source from the Puppy forum and compile it yourself (using tce-load -wi compiletc.tcz to get the required tools for that). This way you could find out if the patched version really works for your system, and we might get our extension updated depending on your findings. (Sing out if you need further directions re. the compilation)
curaga:
Have you checked the bios? There's often an option "AGP aperture" "Reserved graphics ram" or similar. Should be more than 4mb to get some proper resolutions in vesa / 915resolution.
