[Linux-fbdev-users] 480x234 resolution with MediaGX card

[<wil...@al...>]

Hi,

I have a SBC with a MediaGX graphics card. I run Redhat 6.2 on it. My
application is written using Qt embedded.

I can select modes from the fb.modes file (Mach64 ATI).

I want to drive an LCD display and need to change the resolution to
480x234.

How to I calculate (tune) the timings for that resolution?

When I try to change the geometry to anything different than standard video
modes I get the following error:
Cannot Support Requested CRTMode 480x234 8 (39722, 60), 3
ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument.

This is an example from the fb.modes file:

#     640x480, 60 Hz, Non-Interlaced (25.175 MHz dotclock)

Thank you for your help.
