What exactly motherboard/laptop you have?

[Jonathan Ernst (jonathan.ernst)]

It's not a laptop ; according to lshw, the motherboard is a MSI P4M900M3 (part n° MS-7387-010) http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=P4M900M3-L&class=mb
With an S3 Graphics Chrome9 HC Graphics core

Here is an updated lspci and lshw

@Bartosz,
I have sent an e-mail to the openchrome-users mailing list ; thanks for noticing this line in the log!

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

What happened when you try to run "glxgears". Is it crash?

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Please build according to the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

and apply patch :
MSI-P4M900M3-L.patch

[Jonathan Ernst (jonathan.ernst)]

@Bartosz
I didn't try glxgears yet.

Unfortunately I don't have frequent access to this hardware and won't be able to try your patch before two weeks.

But thanks for your help.

Hi.
Your motherboard was added to the openchrome revision R748.

Try add to file xorg.conf in:

 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
 SubSection "Display"
  Virtual 1680 1050
 EndSubSection
EndSection

Hi.
Please check if the XV (video playing) is working correctly for you (if you can at the latest openchrome revision)

Hello,

I had a chance to access this computer again after the recent upgrade to Lucid.

Here are the results :

- No Xorg.conf : resolution is wrong (720x400 instead of 1680x1050) (see xorg.0.log.out-of-the-box.txt)
- Xorg.conf with vesa driver : resolution is correct (see xorg.0.log-vesa.txt)
- Xorg.conf with openchrome and "Virtual 1680 1050" : resolution is correct (see xorg.0.log-virtual.txt)

Hope it helps (I'm sorry but I can't compile drivers on this computer as it's not mine and have limited access to it).

There hasn't been any activity on this bug for a couple years. A patch was posted but AFAICT it still has not been tested.

Is this issue still relevant? If not let's close the report.
