Thomas,
Have you tried the latest driver on freedesktop? Just as Martin wrote,
I committed a patch(that add an entry of 1024x600 for panel) that can support
1024x600 which will give you the whole screen.
[...]
Good news!
which debian version is the package? Must I wait for it's coming in SID
or install from
a proper repository / individual package? Must I download the debian
package sources
then patch and compile (apt-get build-dep ... ; apt-get source ... ; ...)?
Finally... Which patch id it is (URL)?
I am sorry that this bug trail list is too long that I have not too
much to read it, so please give a try and reply.
800x480 is same way to support. But unfortunely, I have no idea now to
support them simultaneously. Just use the cvt tool to generate the parameters
and replace my patch.
Thank to point me on gtf and cvt tools I asked for in a precedent report
: I will take a look on
that, then report as necessary, even if my laptop woud work out of the
box after upgrade.
Not for me but others who have not good skills in computing and not my
own laptop model...
Martin,
For geode driver, if the display is panel instead of CRT, there is no
EDID to be detected. Our BIOS use a register to select which mode is supported.
That is why I have no idea now to support two wide screen modes simultaneously.
But I think the user can enjoy the whole screen is the wonderful thing now!
The default entry can be set by user when he/she enter the gnome
desktop, and select 1024x600, then apply. Next time when you enter the gnome,
it will become the default resolution. That is my understanding Ubuntu BTS
433142 user said.
Thanks,
Frank
Current state (before downloading the new package) gives me 1024x768 and
800x600 in
GNOME screen settings. Hope it will work that time.

By the way : the resolution is now OK with 800x600 and I set again every
font sizes to "16" in Gnome.
the only problems left are "video flicker" and the fact I miss the bottom of
the screen, which I need 1024x600 or 800x480 to display the whole ;)
We already added support for 1024x600, but we might have covered the
correct refresh rate for only one manufacturer's LCD display. We
probably need to inspect the Xorg.log that Thomas attached and see if
the display X finds differs from the one reported in the similar
Ubuntu bug report or not.
Yep! I have no capability to inspect that, except the fact the log is
not verbose about refresh
rates refuseds, and says nothing about synchronization losses :P.
How can I increase log verbotisity for Xorg startup "in the debian way"
(probably /etc/default)?
Next we should probably calculate the correct refresh rate for 800x480
and add native support for this in lx_panel.
Would be great.
Last, we need to make sure that those modes are attempted on displays
that feature them. Currently, it seems that while the last patch we
committed indeed adds native support, the resolution still needs to be
selected in xorg.conf rather than by the usual EDID matching.

I agree on that last point, as my guess is that the laptop manufacturer
didn't do her job
correctly while using the AMD chipset, then simply rely on a peculiar
xorg.conf or patch
herself her proprietary distro without giving back. Hercules is not
known for his respect
regarding anything... As you, I rarely saw any bug report that long!
