Intel GMA 3150 Resolution Support?

[falseteeth]

I have a Toshiba NB 305 with this integrated video controller, and I just can't get my resolution to its native 1024x600 in Backtrack 4 Final. It's automatically set in Ubuntu, but it just won't work in BT.

800x600 is the highest resolution available, but I know the GPU and monitor definitely supports 1024x600.

I've tried creating a new mode in xrandr, but it just says "failed to change the screen configuration" every time. Is there some sort of custom driver I could try?

Thanks.

Edit the xorg.conf file.
/etc/X11/ Open it up and look for the "display" section. There you will see several ( or maybe 1) resolution. Add yours "1024x600" << This is probably 1024x800 So double check.
Or try running fixvesa at the prompt before you start the x server.

- edit xorg.conf file dont work for intel gma 3150
- fixvesa work, but resolution is 800x600 only
- must be install driver xf86-video-intel min 2.9.0 release
problem: for install this driver you'll need several development packages installed - xorg-x11-server-Xorg >= 1.3.0.0-6, xorg-x11-server-sdk >= 1.3.0.0-6, libXvMC-devel, mesa-libGL-devel >= 6.5-9, libdrm-devel >= 2.0-1 and this packages are not standard update, upgrade in backtrace 4 and backtrace 4 r1...

I've tried that, and I've also tried manually forcing the resolution with xrandr. I just get "error switching to resolution" and 800x600 stays as my max.

I have tried every singe bash/config setting there is, to my knowledge. Here are some other threads I've consulted of people with this chipset having the same issue:

http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...esolution.html
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...-one-532h.html

No one in any of those threads was able to resolve the issue. Is there any sort of update or upgrade I can do to get some drivers that may work, or some sort of custom driver? Anything?

I'm having a similar problem on my ASUS Eee PC 1015. I can't get it out of command line to install BT4 to the HDD regarless of the video resolution that I choose. It gives me an error of "no supported monitor found" and just kicks back to the command line root.
