I haven't tried on my MBP, but on my Intel Mac Mini running Linux, I was only ever able to get 1600x1200 resolution using VESA. Using the i915 driver and a tool to patch the BIOS video modes, I was able to get 1920x1200 (I have a 23" display whose native resolution is 1920x1200). You could also try the imacfb framebuffer if you wanted, and then use the fbdev device in X. However, that is obviously unaccelerated, and probably sub-optimal. I was able to get that driver using the correct resolution/refresh-rate via kernel parameters. > Well, as much as I hate advising people to use proprietary software, > I think that in this case this would probably be your best bet.

I am using the proprietary ATI driver on my MBP until the free radeon driver catches up in terms of cards supported. While it is definitely annoying it is probably possible to get it working.

30 inch cinema display with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

Mactellers, I just subscribed to this list, with the hope that someone might have some insight into a problem I am having. I have a Mac Pro tower with a 30 inch cinema display, which has a native resolution of 2560x1600. The video card is an ATI-1900. In OSX and Windoze, this resolution is supported with no fuss, but in linux, no amount of fiddling with the xorg.conf file has so far gotten this resolution to work. I probably diddled with my xorg.conf for about 8 hours. No joy. I am using the recently released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, which installs from CD quite easily. In my case, Linux is installed on a separate hard drive. If anyone has gotten the 30 inch display to work with any flavor of linux on a Mac, I would be interested in how you configured your xorg.conf file. In the meantime, If I figure this out, I'll post the solution here. I have seen reports online from a couple of people who got this working, but they were using an NVidia video card, not the ATI 1900. Just a little more info: I was able to get EDID to give me a proper modeline, but it appears that the VESA driver just can't support 2560x1600. If I switch to the video driver from VESA to the ATI included with the linux install, I get a black screen. I made one attempt to get a new driver at ATI's web site, but I was unable to get the driver installed. The install process was typically Linux-difficult, and with no good feeling that the "new" driver was going to solve my problem, I got discouraged and gave up, for the time being. Thanks, Walter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
