No, I'm not being converted (shaddup David!)
I've been, erm, "asked" to work on a little embedded box that $POE is
trialling for a POS graphical display terminal.
Said device runs Debian - and has issues with running a graphics mode
higher than 1024x768.
Naturally, $POE want it at 1280x720 (widescreen 16:9 ratio)
It's running a bastardised/modified Debian Etch, as far as I can tell.
Now, for all you Debian lovers out there.
1) Is Etch recent, or behind the times? The box is from HP - model
available if required. it runs an ATI embedded card - shared video
graphics RAM with the motherboard, I believe
2) Is this mode even valid?
3) Anyone know the magic to get this working?
TIA.
