Can't reach 1680x1050 resolution with intel cedar graphic card

**BreakYourTV** · March 21st, 2012

Hello,
I've recently buy a small fan less pc:
tango fanless silent
with graphic card: Intel® Cedar Trail

Ubuntu 11.10 is installed.
In settings, I can set the resolution to one of the following: 680x480, 1024x768 or 1280x1024
But I can't reach the native resolution of my screen: 1680x1050.

There is no more xorg.conf in last version of ubuntu...
What should I do?

This driver seems to be designed for Poulsbo GMA500,
but I have a GMA5600 Cedarview:

Code:

~$ lspci -nn | egrep "VGA|Display"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Cedarview Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0be2] (rev 09)
~$ grep Chipset /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[  1011.526] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
[  1011.532] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM: Intel(R)XX Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS
[  1011.771] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM: Intel(R)XX Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS
~$ dmesg | grep agp
[    1.157803] Linux agpgart interface v0.103

Do you think it will works?

Both GMA500/600 use the Powervr sgx535 graphics core, but I can't say for sure whether emgd will work.

I don't think it will work because cedarview proc are gma5600 not gma500/600 poulso...

Someone have advice me to try the kernel 3.3 that should manage this proc...
