Description Timothy Murphy 2004-06-03 20:44:33 UTC 
Sony C1VFK Picturebook (notebook) under Fedora-2 
Video board: ATI Rage Mobility P/M (Mach 128) 
This ran at 1024x480 with 16bpp under Fedora-1 (XFree86) 
but it does not appear possible to attain this now. 
It runs OK at 1024x480 with 8bpp; 
but when run with 16bpp one gets a large black oval 
which shrinks to leave a blank white or cream screen. 
There seem to be no errors reported in Xorg.0.log . 
One can escape to text mode (with Ctrl-Alt-F1). 
 
Several people have reported this failure, 
and no-one seems to have found a solution.

I have the same problem with my Sony Vaio C1VE. What I found out is that  all
resolutions work well on an external Monitor (Option "crt_screen"). Even unusual
ones like 1024x480 24bpp.

there is an identical bug report on redhat.com:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124899

lspci says: ATI Rage Mobility P/M (rev 6)
Kernel 2.6.4, gcc-3.4.1, xorg cvs from 2004-10-13, drm cvs from 2004-10-13, Mesa
cvs from 2004-10-13. I'm using the mach64 branch (http://www.retinalburn.net/linux)

Closing due to the lack of activity from the bug poster.
