The display has 1400x1050. You can change the resolution in boot menu, however it would be nice to have a fully working auto-detection ;-) I'm not aware of any way to read the display resolution of Thinkpads. And I'm not emotionally ready yet to implement the hwinfo method for this in the boot loader. *** Bug 105136 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
When booting off the CD, the frame buffer is enabled and YaST2 starts in graphical mode. However, it does not use the optimal screen resolution of 1400x1050 for my Thinkpad T42, the resolution seems to be somewhat lower (the TFT scales it, so the display is blurred). It added "vga=0x317" to the kernel boot options in grub's menu.lst, so this seemed to have been the resolution it chose. "0x342" would have been the correct value. This is the output of "hwinfo --monitor/--gfxcard" out of the running system: 27: None 00.0: 10002 LCD Monitor [Created at monitor.100] Unique ID: rdCR.lCw0a1p9532 Hardware Class: monitor Model: "IBM Notebook LCD" Vendor: "IBM" Device: "Notebook LCD" Resolution: 1400x1050@60Hz Driver Info #0: Max.
