GMA 3150 Desktop GPU resolution (Device ID: A0018086)
« on: December 13, 2010, 08:23:16 PM »
Hi all,

First thanks a lot for all voodooprojects developers.

I've got a HP-Compaq 100eu All in one monitor PC. Its specs are;

Intel Atom D410 CPU
GMA 3150 Graphics Card (A0018086)
20" 1600x900 LCD Monitor
Realtek RTL8103EL Ethernet (R8139 Kext)
Realtek HD ALC887 (VoodooHDA Kext)
4 in 1 Card Reader

I tried many distros and installation methods and decided iatkos s3 v2. All hardware works well, except GMA 3150 (native resolution). I get only default vesa resolutions.

I compiled meklort's branch and installed but it didn't solve the problem. I think my monitor doesn't supply correct EDID information. I attached a boot screen supported resolutions on my machine.

I also installed ubuntu desktop and I can get 1600x900 native resolution. Ubuntu says "unknown monitor" but I can get correct resolution by adding newmod line.

I heard it's possible to force vbios for get correct resolution by editing 915resolution module. But C coding experience needed. I need help about this issue.

Thanks a lot all.

I think there is a way to inject the monitor EDID information into ioreg.
I've seen this covered somewhere in some other forum but I can't remember the details or where I saw this, sorry.
Of course you need a way to get at the EDID data in the first place. I don't know if this will help with your missing resolution though.
You can also try something like SwitchResX.

Thank you Gringo.

I've tried to get and modify EDID info from Windows but couldn't success. I couldn't find any of EDID editor/reader can work with may PC. I can get EDID info via SwitchResX but it's garbage it can't detect monitor correctly.

As I understand this code from meklort's branch reads EDID info and inject it vbios or something else where it needed.

I think it's possible to modify and put my monitors resolution info in it but i'm not an advanced programmer do that :(
