Hi,
Did anyone manage to get 4.4 working on a Dell D620 laptop? The thing has a 1440x900 LCD screen, but I don't get X the work with that resolution. (lspci: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03))
Google suggested to use '915resolution', which I installed (915resolution-0.5.2-1.el4.rf), but that doesn't help.
Regards,

It is always useful to reference the sources you are mentioning so people can interprete the information themselves.
On a Dell D610 at work, I am doing this:
/usr/sbin/915resolution 38 1280 1024 /usr/sbin/915resolution 3c 1400 1050
To make the external and internal video to work with the correct resolution. I assume what you need to do is something similar.
PS Are you sure it is 1440x900 ? Mine is 1440x1050...
PS2 The X configuration should work barebones. So no specific ModeLines are necessary. But what worked here as well was the following configuration file (for a Xinerama dual-head setup using the internal LCD and the external TFT).
A lot of stuff in there however was things I experimented with, so your mileage may vary.

Yes. According to this page:
http://www.oiepoie.nl/linux_on_d620/
1440x900 works on Fedora 5. I've added "915resolution 5c 1440 900" to /etc/rc.local and added "1440x900" to SubSection "Display" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. However, /var/log/Xorg.0.log says:
(II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1440x900" (no mode of this name)
Cheers,
