Just for reference - my xorg.conf ================================= My OpenPOWER (Raptor Blackbird) machine uses an internal framebuffer. to drive the monitor This thing is known to have a bug which prevents. it from autodetecting screen resolution. So it always run at 1280x1024. To make it work one has to set up the "xorg.conf" file (on my Fedora it is the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/21-gpu-driver.conf" and it looks like this: {{ # AST2500 Section "Device" Identifier "GPU0" Driver "modesetting" BusID "PCI:2@5:0:0" VendorName "ASpeed Corporation" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Modeline "1920x1080" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync Modeline "1280x1024" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Monitor "Monitor0" Device "GPU0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1920x1080" "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection }} I put it here mostly for myself - similar info can be foudn in the Raptor Wiki.
