Here you go:

Analog VGA only, 800x480 Xenarc timings on G963 or G965 chipsets.


Let me know how it works!

Thanks,

Giuliano,

I'm getting the "not all components of the driver installed properly" error after I execute the executable. This is on a Dell Inspiron 6400 with Intel 945GM graphics chipset. I extract the file, then run the setup in the utilities folder, as specified....anything I may be missing?

Folks,

Here's a package that was built to cover 800x480 with Xenarc timings on the Analog VGA port, for all of these Intel chipsets:

852GM
852GME
845GV
855GME
915GM
915GV
945G
945GM

Here is the package:

NOTE:

The above package may not work on laptops, or systems with LVDS LCD panels attached. Analog VGA ONLY!

I will build a package for laptops / LVDS and Analog VGA combinations shortly.


I should also note that these configuration settings are not fixed in stone.

They can be changed any time, using the IEGDGUI utility in the Utilities folder.

That's a laptop... the driver build package didn't account for the local LCD panel, which it needs to.


I'll build another package with the settings for a local LCD panel on the LVDS port.

This should set up the configuration with local LVDS LCD panel at its defaults, and the analog VGA port at 800x480 Xenarc timings.

The two displays are set up in Clone mode, so both displays will have the same image.

You can change this or adjust settings using the IEGDGUI utility mentioned above.

For best results, uninstall any previous driver packages from Add/Remove Control Panel first.

And, once again, thank you.

Actually, it's quite easy..

The Xenarc timings were the most difficult part, and once I got that decoded into a Device Timing Description (DTD) file, I can re-use it for different builds.


For laptops, I'm defaulting to having both displays set in Clone mode, where they display the same content, but can have different resolutions.

These settings may not be optimal, but you can change it using the IEGDGUI utility or the Advanced button on the video control panel.

Here's a build for local LVDS LCD panels (Laptop LCD) and Analog VGA, with Xenarc 800x480 timings.

Chipsets:

855GME
915GM
945GM

All the other chipsets don't have LVDS ports on the chip - use this one instead for Analog VGA only:

Giuliano, please accept my apologies, but none of these seems to work. I'll try a few different things and get back to you. Sorry to be a PITA, I sure do appreciate your efforts,
