Quest for 800x480 - Page 10

antimatter · 01-02-2005, 03:39 AM

Mpattonm, If you could find the time would you please post some shots of the desktop and how it looks.

Heck as long as it looks as crisp as it does when running 800x600 i will do it. but i really don't want to go through all of the trouvle to purchase and install a Video card and have to revert to what i had before because it didn't look good.

Thanks

I have a Lilliput and an Asus Pundit which is able of doing 800x480, but the display is recognizing it as 800x600

. So, I get two big black borders at the top and at the botom.

Any idea?

tremebundo · 01-04-2005, 04:36 PM

I think I have found the answer: The Lilliput does not support 800x480.
The manual mentions as nearest supported resolutions: 848x480 and 800x600.
But, unfortunately, my graphic card does not support 848x480.

@tremebundo: are you sure about that? What is the native resolution of the lilliput then? It must have a definite number of pixels...is that 848x400?

No.

Seriously, there is no 800x480 in the list of input modes of the manual I have.

The specification says 1152000 pixels. I know that 800x848x3 is 1152000, but I am puzzled too.

The Newision.com site (formerly Lilliput) shows the model NW619VT (what used to be the 619GL-70NP) as having a native 800x480 resolution with a total of 1,152,000 dots (800x480xRGB(3)=1,152,000) which should be the same as the Gain/Xenarc if I read this thread correctly.

I know that,but as you can see in the picture (sorry for the bad quality) that native resolutition is not properly detected.

Some other setting is not allowing your Lilli to display 800x480. Take a look at the settings which work for the Xenarc: http://www.xenarc.com/faq.html . There is a lot more to them than simply selecting the number of rows, columns, and refresh. Play with those other values and you're bound to come up with something that works...
Just a thought, anyway.

I'm assuming no-one got the onboard graphics card from the Epia M10000 to actually output 800 x 480 ?

Jackboot · 01-10-2005, 07:27 PM

@residentalien: correct. The Epia M10K will not output 800x480

mpattonm · 01-13-2005, 05:09 AM

Hey,something is happening

Hold you breath (but do not die coz it will take some time)

Seraph · 01-13-2005, 11:46 AM

M10K will not do 800x480. It always dows 848x480 which is ok for me. Not the best but ok. But I have TM700 from digitalww (panasonic screen). I tried a Gforce MX4000 yesterday. Although it had custom resolution, I was not too happy with the way it looked. But I did get it to display it at 800x400@72 and 75 hz. 60 looked like crap. 75 was a little fuzzy. 85 did not work and 72 looked pretty gook but...

How do you know that?

By the way do you know it was me who forced VIA to come out with 848x480 BIOS/drivers?

I know that because not one person has reported achieving the native resolution of 800x480 from the VIA onboard video. Find me one person that can show they have somehow miraculously got 800x480 res from the onboard video and I'll eat my own poo. Or yours. You choose.

Further, who cares about 848x480 resolution or drivers. How many times does it need to be said - 848x480 is not the native resolution of a Xenarc or Lilliput. Most of us don't care if it is "close enough" - it is either the native resolution, pixel per pixel, or it is not. And 848x480 is NOT native resolution - the display is NOT pixel per pixel mapping and is not optimal.

I couldnt' get 800x480 working on an ati radeon 8500 either. I ended up having to downgrade to a Geforce 2 MX.
