[Linux-fbdev-devel] 1920x1440 resolution with matroxfb

[<rw...@ea...>]

I want to thank the developers of the Linux frame buffer!
The amount of text that fits on the screen using matroxfb
is very cool.  

I want to share the video settings that are working well for 
me, in case it helps other users or the developers.

Monitor: 22" ViewSonic PF815
Matrox G400 with 32MB RAM

These settings give 90x240 text with the default font.

video=matrox:vesa:0x11C,depth:32,fh:115,fv:92,xres:1920,yres:1440,left:344,right:120

I put the line above into a lilo "append" directive.

The "fh" (horizonal frequency) and "fv" (vertical) are the max 
this monitor supports.  They would be a bad values if your 
monitor doesn't have these specifications.

Kernel config:

CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100=y
CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y
CONFIG_FBCON_MFB=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB2=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB4=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y

Have fun!
