Comment 29 for bug 127008

During installation:
chroot target, then laptop-detect returns nothing
laptop-detect -v returns: we're a laptop (dmidecode returns notebook)

I tested the patch for bug 144956. The colored blocks still appear. However, after reboot my laptop came up with 1280x800 as it should. Previously it came up with 1024x768.
(I rebuilt the patch for amd64 and customized the beta CD)

After installation and with debug enabled, xresprobe still shows it probes X. Same output as above, except for the now correct resolution of 1280x800.

I guess if the ddc probe in xresprobe would find the right resolution for my laptop, the x probe would not be needed and the problem would be solved. I am not sure if the ddc probe in xresprobe is the same as ddcprobe, but this is what sudo ddcprobe gives (after 1st reboot):
