OS: Ubuntu 11.10, all updates
Mobo: Intel D2700MUD (Atom) with GMA3650 graphics
Monitor: Eizo CE240W 1920x1200 via DVI
Although the mobo supports this resolution, the monitor is not recognized, and the system gives me a 1600x1200 display stretched to fill the monitor. The System Settings -> Displays shows the screen as Unknown, Detect Displays does nothing, and 1600x1200 is the max resolution.
I used xrandr to create a 1920x1200 mode, and add it to the display called "default", and aside from a bunch of "Failed to get size of gamma for output default" errors, it does indeed add that mode to the choices in Displays. However, when I select that new mode, it complains "required virtual size does not fit available size", since the max is still 1600x1200. It doesn't say what exactly is enforcing that limit.
After a lot of Googling, I found a couple of recommendations that I create an xorg.conf file (there was none), and put something like this into it:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Default Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1920 1200
EndSubSection
EndSection
When I do this, the system won't boot into the GUI, and I have to go into a TTY to delete the file and reboot. The docs I've found on xorg.conf say imply that that if you use an xorg.conf, you need a whole lot more in it than just that, and that Device must refer to another section in the xorg.conf file. I find no mention of the legality of saying "Default Video Device".
Oh, and Intel doesn't provide any Linux drivers for this video, so I don't know what the system is using. FYI, lspci identifies the controller as "Intel Corporation Cedarview Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)".
Any ideas? Anyone? Bueller?
