e-Cafe ec900 with via chipset (via c7m) xorg.conf

English Hardware

Hi!

I recently installed Installed OpenSuse 11.2 on my e-cafe.
Installation went very well, but I cant set resolutions higher than 800x600.
Native resolution is 1024x600.
Driver was fbdev.

I installed via unichrome driver and tried to make it work (manually by editing xorg.conf) but I failed.
It always says that there are no outputs available.

My question now is, has anyone installed this driver with success, or is there another way to get 1024x600 ?

Hi
Try via or chrome9 as the driver in xorg.

I did try via driver, but with no luck.

Do you have a ec900 ?
If you have it working, could you post your xorg.conf ?
