Unable to get higher resolution 800x600 & monitor doesn't detected
I am not able to get higher resolution in RHEL 6 (santigo) i.e. 800x600. apart from this monitor is also not detected.
below I have provided necessary details.
[root]#cat /etc/release
[root]#RHEL server release 6.0 (Santiago)
[root]#uname –mrs
[root]#Linux 2.6.32-72.el6.i686
Note- RHEL 6.0 doesn't create any Xorg.conf file. So, there is no such file /X11/Xorg.conf file at this location.
My main concern is to get other resolution which I have mention below in GUI mode.
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x800" "1024x768" "1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"
further additional information.

We had a similar issue when we were using a digital KVM device (keyboard video mouse interface). Are you using a digital KVM? When we disconnected our digital KVM during the build, it worked fine. Your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps... come back and someone will likely chime in if not.
Sushil,
Just curious, who manufactured the system? Is the display output connector on the motherboard itself, or is there some sort of Intel graphics card installed? From the details you have above, it would seem to be a generic Intel based vga display.
There are some rare cases where the Operating system and CLI commands will not pick up the graphics card, it is rare.

If (if) it is an intel-based video driver, perhaps evaluate trying "elrepo", not a guarantee, but perhaps elrepo repositories might have what you need, on the condition your driver is really Intel-based and that repo matches what your system needs.
Also see this discussion.
Hope this helps...
Hi Sushil,
Formatting tip: By the way, when posting your code, remember to wrap the code with three tildes. (click on "Formatting Help under any post you make) See this link for formatting info

Back to the discussion...
- I noticed from your post on November 5 2014 at 4:47 AM , you cited "vmware" as one of the drivers in your "List of video drivers".
- Is this system physical or virtual? I suspect it's physical, but if it happens to be vmware, then do install vmware tools
- If it is a physical system, are you able to:
1) Download the intel device driver for your specific system
2) Try the "El Repo" link I provided earlier in this discussion? (Namely, the post from October 30 2014 at 11:31 AM)
Hi Sushil,
Regarding the segment fault, address that separately with Red Hat support.
From your original post, it seems you have an intel driver
- Quote from your text

< output truncated, see original post you made >
- Have you determined if there is a intel device driver for your specific system, and downloaded/installed it?
- If there is no driver provided by Intel for your Linux system, can you examine the the "El Repo" link I provided earlier in this discussion for an intel device driver? (Namely, the post from October 30 2014 at 11:31 AM)
Sushil,
That link is broken. Here it is for the xorg-x11-drv-intel driver.
Hi Sushil,
The current version is xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.916-1.el6.elrepo and this is the one that is compatible with RHEL 6.6. Older versions will not work under 6.6. The announcement can be found on the ELRepo's mailing list.
Sushil,
Just for reference...
That link leading to El Repo also cites this Intel Open Source page for drivers for Linux https://01.org/linuxgraphics/. That page has a link leading to this intel installer for linux but it cites Fedora Linux and not RHEL. That being said, I've seen where some fedora RPMs still work for RHEL.
- Here is their documentation
- Here is their forum location
Even if you do not use the RPMs from the https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ website, it may be good for reference.
Has anyone solved this? I too am trying to achieve a resolution greater than 800x600. I also have Intel Graphics Generation 3 Rev 9. I am unable to install proper driver for RHEL 7.1 or 7.2. Dowloaded Intel Graphics Installer for Linux (based off of Fedora 19) - installer application installs OK but when I try to run, I receive "Distribution not supported". I am not sure how to trick the installer into really installing the driver. Searched all over web but not many are talking about intel graphics and RHEL support. Any help would be appreciated. Had to install RHEL under troubleshoot with basic graphics just to get the operating system installed. I know this is a driver issue...but how do I go about resolving it?
