X.Org and the Dell Optiplex GX270

[Neil Thompson <abraxis metroweb co za>]

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get X working properly with the GX270?  I can't
get more than 640x480 on this box.

Looking at the logs, it seems as if X and the BIOS are having a problem
deciding how much memory is available - 

(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM: Intel(r)865G Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 1.0
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: Intel Corporation
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product: Intel(r)865G Graphics Controller

(--) I810(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xF0000000
(--) I810(0): IO registers at addr 0xFEB80000
(II) I810(0): detected 892 kB stolen memory.
(II) I810(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: 955388 kB available
(II) I810(0): Will attempt to tell the BIOS that there is 12288 kB VideoRAM
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f11 not supported.

Is this worth a bugzilla?


Cheers! (Relax...have a homebrew)
