<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hey Talk<br></div><div> I am playing with new desktop at work and I am running into a issue with the video card; I want to see what you all think.<br><br></div><div>So for starter the system board is an Foxconn D250s which has an Intel Cedertrail CPU and GPU. In reality the GPU is actually a PowerVR gpu. There is a Closed source Linux blob for xorg and there is no chance to make it work on FreeBSD or any 64bit OS .<br>
<br></div><div>So for now I am stuck with the VESA driver . I want to setup the driver to drive a 1680x1050 monitor.<br><br></div><div>I went and did the following steps in a running xorg setup <br><br></div><div>1. I used cvt to get the new modeline<br>
<br>msaad@stereo-hippo:~> cvt 1680 1050 <br># 1680x1050 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.76MA) hsync: 65.29 kHz; pclk: 146.25 MHz<br>Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync<br>
</div> <br></div>2. They I used xrandr to add the new mode<br><br>msaad@stereo-hippo:~> xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -HSync +VSync<br><div><br clear="all">
<div><div>3. Then I added it with xrandr<br>msaad@stereo-hippo:~> xrandr --addmode default "1680x1050_60.00"<br><br></div><div>4. Then I verified it was added<br><br>msaad@stereo-hippo:~> xrandr --verbose<br>
