Modified source code now attached to the 5th post in this thread.
I discovered an extraneous comma at the end of line 63 of 915resolution.c. I removed it before packaging the source code, then I also recompiled the 915resolution dotpet and re-attached it to the first post.
If you downloaded the dotpet before December 12, please download again.

aragon, does this now work with your Dell Latitude E6400?

Thanks for this. I can resurrect my old-ish puppy 4.1.2 and have it scream at my new machines with the correct resolution :D

Well I need to know the device ID of the GMA3150 graphics controller ... Google tells me it's 8086:a011 ?

EDIT: Attachment removed.
Chipset ID 8086:a011 doesn't work.

I don't have one unfortunately. Prehistoric has a friend that has one and PaceNotes has one. I'll throw into Puppeee and see if anyone will test it.

Sure, I just want to wait until we know it works.
If you're that interested Amigo, I can explain the relevant sections of the source file, and you can become the maintainer of 915resolution in Puppy :wink:

It should be noted that developments in Puppy can be quite prominent in the Linux world. I have had several developers from other distributions contact me regarding 915resolution, and also regarding wifi drivers.

You don't need to explain -I have used your patches to 915 before -I think I found some others from arch linux or somewhere and used them all together. I don't find the last sources I was working with at the moment.

PaceNotes PMed me the following info:
# 915resolution -l
Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.3

Intel chipset detected. However, 915resolution was unable to determine the chipset type.
Chipset Id: a0108086
Please report this problem to stomljen@yahoo.com



Maybe there are multiple IDs?

Mmm, that's interesting; 8086:a010 is the "N10 Family (Pineview) DMI Bridge"
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/a010
The graphics controller components of the chipset are 8086:a011 and 8086:a012.

EDIT:
Now tested successfully with GMA3150 graphics chipset.
Attachment removed to first post.

OK, here's the revised version, with chipset ID changed to 8086:a010.
That one works for me. Thank you :D

OK, good to hear.

915resolution dotpet moved to 1st post in this thread.
Modified source code now attached to 5th post.

Just to be clear; the test machine in question is an ASUS Eee 1005PE ?

My machine is actually a 1005PEB. I did a quick search and somebody said the hardware is identical to the 1005PE and it only differs in appearance but I am not sure if that is entirely true.
