| JasonO | Hi highvoltage | 03:12 |
| dyllan | hi all | 17:38 |
| dyllan | I have edubuntu working, ie i am able to boot a "thin client" remotely, however the widescreen monitor doesnt display a larger resolution than 1024x768, any idea on how to get the bst resolution? | 17:39 |
| dyllan | bst* | 17:39 |
| highvoltage | dyllan: do you know how much display memory the graphics card has assigned? | 18:05 |
| highvoltage | dyllan: do you know what chipset it uses? | 18:05 |
| dyllan | highvoltage, it uses an Intel chipset 945 | 18:13 |
| dyllan | not sure how much memory it has assigned, would i check the BIOS for that? | 18:14 |
| highvoltage | dyllan: yep | 18:14 |
| highvoltage | dyllan: if you only have 1MB assigned you won't be able to go higher than 1024x768 | 18:14 |
| mgariepy | broken cable can also cause problem with resolution. | 18:14 |
| dyllan | highvoltage, ok ill check the BIOS - ty | 18:15 |
| dyllan | mgariepy, i tried different monitors + cables, but thanks for the suggestion! | 18:15 |
| mgariepy | ok | 18:15 |
| mgariepy | np | 18:15 |
| dyllan | just fyi, checking the Xorg log file my card is definitely detected correctly, however Modeling doesnt have a resolution larger than 1024x768 | 18:18 |
| dyllan | BIOS Settings: | 18:20 |
| dyllan | On-Chip Frame Buffer Size [ 8MB ] <-- that's the largest, other option is [ 1MB ] | 18:21 |
| dyllan | DVMT Mode [ DVMT ] <-- other options are FIXED or BOTH, i chose BOTH for now | 18:21 |
| dyllan | DVMT/FIXED Memory Size [128MB ] <-- other option is [ 224MB ] change to that. | 18:22 |
| dyllan | I should probably also mention that the cable connection the monitor to the thin client is a VGA cable with a converter on the thin client to DVI because the thin client only has a DVI port. | 18:23 |
| dyllan | not sure if that would make a diff. | 18:23 |
| dyllan | Unfortunately no change, going to try and find a DVI cable so I can take the DVI converter out of the equation. | 18:25 |
| dyllan | That did it! | 18:30 |
| dyllan | Using a straight DVI cable solved the problem, mgariepy you were on the right track ;-) | 18:31 |
| dyllan | Thanks for being a sound board all. | 18:31 |
| highvoltage | yay | 18:33 |
| dyllan | :) | 18:45 |
| alkisg | dyllan: did you solve your resolution problem? | 19:43 |
| alkisg | Too late :) | 19:43 |
| vmlintu | it's been quite quiet lately.. | 20:24 |
| highvoltage | calm before the storm | 20:56 |
| highvoltage | when the archive is frozen before release | 20:56 |
| highvoltage | but I agree we could do with more energy and buzz here | 20:56 |
| vmlintu | are there plans yet for the next cycle? | 21:52 |
| vmlintu | I could really try to do something, but somehow I always miss the real action.. | 22:05 |
