Subject: [OmniBook] OB500: Problems with video position
Message-ID: <4572EA44.7020506@shaw.ca>

I'm trying Ubuntu 6.06 on my OB 500, and everything seems to be working 
fine, but I'm having some trouble with the video. The screen image is 
sitting about 1 millimetre too high on the display. I can position is 
properly using xvidtune, but I can't get the resulting modeline to work 
in the Xorg configuration.

Checking the log files, it looks like there is an ATI module which 
overrides the xorg.conf file. Ubuntu uses xorg 7.0.0

Does anyone have any idea what might work? I'm not having much luck...

Regards,
Michael

Subject: [OmniBook] OB500: problems with video adjustments
Message-ID: <4572F1F4.9080400@shaw.ca>

I've installed Ubuntu 6.06 on my HP Omnibook 500. Everything seems to 
have autodetected OK, except that the X screen is positioned about 1 
millimetre too high on the laptop display. It's an ATI internal AGP 
graphics card. Ubuntu uses xorg 7.0.0

If I adjust the position using xvidtune, it can be adjusted to the right 
position.

I then generated a modeline, and put that in the monitor section of 
xorg.conf.

I can see my xorg.conf file getting loaded in the log file, but the 
defaults from the ATI module seem to be the ones getting loaded, and my 
modeline is being ignored.

Has anyone got any ideas that might help? I'm getting a little desperate.

Thanks,
M
