Please build your kernel without uvesafb, but with vesafb and try booting with vga=0x348 to see whether this can actually work. If it boots successfully with a working framebuffer, please attach the output of `fbset -i`, and your kernel log (`dmesg`).

But if the monitor is connected in VGA portal, > 1440x900 in testvbe would become unavailable I'm not sure I understood you correctly. If you connect a monitor to the DVI port before booting the computer, is 1440x900 listed in vbe_modes? Is it listed there if you connect a monitor to the VGA port before booting instead? Note that the part "before booting" is important here. uvesafb caches the BIOS information during boot and it is never refreshed afterwards. If a new mode becomes available because you switch monitors while the system is running, it will not appear in vbe_modes and the driver will not be able to use it. > I also tried building my kernel with vesafb instead of uvesafb, but the > problem remained. That's a bad sign.. I know of no circumstances in which a mode not working in vesafb would work in uvesafb.
Maybe we have some problem in comunication, and then I describe it again for you. First, I connected the monitor with DVI port, and I got the mode 1440x900 in uvesafb. and then I closed the computer and connected another widescreen monitor with VGA port, and then I counldn't get any widescreen mode.

Thanks, it's all clear now :) Have you tried using vesafb with the VGA monitor and with 'vga=0x365' (or 0x364) on the kernel command line?
yes i tried, but i can only get 1440x900 with a dvi monitor nomatter what monitor i use, with uvesafb or vesafb, I can find 1440x900 in `hwinfo --framebuffer`'s output

I think I'm running into the same problem. I've got a two monitor set-up, an LCD (primary) and CRT (secondary) monitors connected to one GeForce G80 graphics card. If I connect either of those monitors via a VGA cable, I get all modes up to 1600x1200, as I'd expect. However, if I boot with the LCD monitor on a DVI cable as my primary display, the highest I get is 1280x1024. I also can't switch the monitor between VGA and DVI mode without rebooting.

What happens if you boot with a monitor connected via the VGA cable and then switch to DVI without restarting the system? Do you get any signal on the DVI port?
(In reply to comment #11) > > Does the LCD monitor support the 1600x1200 resolution? Yes, the LCD has a native resolution of 1600x1200. Works great in X, and works in the console when booting with a VGA cable. > > switch the monitor between VGA and DVI mode without rebooting. > > Why is that?

Yes, if I switch cables after booting, I get no signal.

Created attachment 178306 [details] Booting Linux 2.6.28 w/ vesafb, vga=0x346, showing no 1600x1200 mode while DVI cable is connected.

In that case, I don't think there is anything I can do. Apparently, the Video BIOS disables the highest resolution modes when the DVI port is used. If 1600x1200 worked with vesafb, but not with uvesafb, I would suspect a bug in v86d. Since it works in neither of those, it looks like a problem with the BIOS and that's something we can't fix.
Ok! Thanks a lot for analysing my problem! Perhaps others are running into the same issue as well.
