Intel HD Graphics 2000, - how make it work for 16:9 resolutions?

[Che_Fedor]

I have:
- Scientific Linux 5.7 x86_64
- Intel HD Graphics 2000 integrated video
and I want it work on 16:9 resolutions, wich it support.

But drivers for http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html won`t install.

Maybe somebody overwhelmed such problem?

Hi there,

this is CPU based VGA you have (2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000) Is it the only present VGA on your system, or do you have some other VGA present?

can you post here output of commands:

lspci
lsusb

What is current resolution you have configured now? What type of machine you have? Laptop? Desktop?
What Linux desktop do you use? KDE? Gnome?

How is you VGA detected - post here output of commands:

dmesg | grep -i intel
dmesg | grep -i vga

if these commands don't return any relevant info, use just command

dmesg

and scroll through wall of text to find any relevant info about VGA and post it here ..

After we know these details, we can have a look on the Xorg server drivers and settings.

cheers,

Hi,
Ok, so you see in your Gnome display setting the 1680x1050 option but you can't use it?

can you post here the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This is config file of you X server, so we need to have a look on this one too ...
Also, post the list of possible resolution of you desktop screen...

cheers

Hi there,
try to edit and add "Modes" line to the this section called "subsection display":

CODE

Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device    "Videocard0" Monitor    "Monitor0" DefaultDepth    24   SubSection "Display"     Viewport  0 0     Depth    24     Modes "1600×1200" "1440x900"   EndSubSection EndSection

in "Modes" line list all modes you LCD (CRT) monitor support starting with highest. Then restart X server, or restart the machine.

note, i'm not quite sure this gonna work, in your driver section it says, you use vesa driver. Also note, that you use the SL 5.x which i'm not sure will have the newest driver for Intel video card. Cant you upgrade to version 6.x?
We'll see further ..

cheers,

cheers,

Hi, I was wandering if you could help me with a similar problem. I seem to be having a lot of display issues. Kind of at my wits end with it in fact! I am on SL 6.3.


xrandr gives me:
