I am using Grub and have this in my kernel arguments:
video=3Dvesafb:ywrap,mtrr,vram:128 vga=3D792
I have a 1280x768 laptop display.
My Xorg.log contains:
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE PanelID read successfully
(II) I810(0): PanelID returned panel resolution : 1280x768
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC supported
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC Level 2
*Mode: 7e (1280x768)
BitsPerPixel: 32
Does this mean there is a way for me to tell vesafb to use this mode?
I would like to have the consoles display in 1280x768.
Also, when I boot I see that there are problems with overlapping
mtrr regions. I have read:
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=3D33821469
but this doesn't give me enough information to understand my
current mtrr configuration:
cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=3D0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=3D1024MB: write-back, count=3D1
reg01: base=3D0x3df00000 ( 991MB), size=3D 1MB: uncachable, count=3D1
reg02: base=3D0x3e000000 ( 992MB), size=3D 32MB: uncachable, count=3D1
reg03: base=3D0xe8000000 (3712MB), size=3D 16MB: write-combining, count=3D=
1
I only have 1Gig of RAM, so I don't know what this 3712MB could be=20
refering to.

The system information says the video card has access to 128M of memory,
yet my Xorg log doesn't say that is getting used:

What is going on?
How do I best optimize my vesafb and Xorg configurations?
