Getting 1400x1050 out of VESA

The following is contributed by Ben Taylor

1. In /usr/openwin/share/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/boards/vesa/vesa.xqa [and /usr/X11R6/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/boards/xf86/vesa.xqa if the Sun XF86 driver kit is loaded]

   Add "1400x1050," to each [RESOLUTIONS] and [DESKTOPS] in the above files. Note that there are multiple places for each of those categories. If you dont notice this, then you wont be able to use more than 8bit color.

2. Put the file nbxgap.vda in /usr/openwin/share/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/monitors/lcd
3. In /usr/openwin/share/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/etc/Xtimings

   look for the section with

   [PREADJUSTED_TIMING]
   PreadjustedTimingName = "1600x1200 Interlaced";

   Then add the following lines, just ABOVE the 1600x1200 section:

   ---

   
   [PREADJUSTED_TIMING]
       PreadjustedTimingName = "1400x1050 @ 60Hz";
   
       HorPixel              = 1400;               // pixels
       VerPixel              = 1050;               // lines
       PixelWidthRatio       = 4;
       PixelHeightRatio      = 3;
       HorFrequency          = 53.925;             // kHz

       ScanType              = NONINTERLACED;
       HorSyncPolarity       = NEGATIVE;
       VerSyncPolarity       = NEGATIVE;
       CharacterWidth        = 8;                  // pixels
       PixelClock            = 107.850;            // MHz
       HorTotalTime          = 18.5443;            // (usec) =  x chars
       HorAddrTime           = 12.981;             // (usec) =  x chars
       HorBlankStart         = 12.981;             // (usec) =  x chars
       HorBlankTime          =  5.56328;           // (usec) =   x chars
       HorSyncStart          = 13.4261;            // (usec) =  x chars
       HorSyncTime           =  4.482151;          // (usec) =   x chars
       VerTotalTime          = 21.3259;            // (msec) = x lines
       VerAddrTime           = 19.4715;            // (msec) = x lines
       VerBlankStart         = 19.4715;            // (msec) = x lines
       VerBlankTime          =  1.85443;           // (msec) =   x lines
       VerSyncStart          = 19.6198;            // (msec) = x lines
       VerSyncTime           =  0.222531;          // (msec) =    x lines
   

   Important note

   Unfortunately, SOME hardware may lock up, the first time you run xinit after setting the graphics mode to 1400x1050 with kdmconfig.

   Dont panic. Just reboot the system, and then things should run okay. Mysterious, but true.
