[tlinux-users:04703] Need to know LCD Scan Rate Specs for P15-S409 Thu, 08 Jan 2004

I noticed that there is no hardware information for the Pxx Series of
Toshiba Satellite Laptops.I just want to know the LCD scan rate specifications
for P15 series of laptops (P15-S409, in particular).

All LCD screens have vertical refresh 60Hz (you can use range 50-60).
Horizontal is dependent on resolution and it is equal to (Yres + 30) * Vf,
where Yres is Y resolution of LCD in pixels (eg. 768 for 1024x768); 30
is approximately number of scanlines during vertical retrace and Vf is
vertical frequency (60Hz for LCD). But generally, it doesn't matter,
because it depend on the vertical freq and resolution, which is both fixed
on LCD screens.

For example:
On 1024x768 LCD:
(768+30)*60 ~= 800*60 = 48kHz
On 1600x1200 LCD:
(1200+30)*60 ~= 72kHz

The wide screen 1280x800 should be ~79khz.
Also, shouldn't the 1600x1200 example be 1630*60 = ~98khz?
Since the lack of EDID/DDC capability from the monitor was causing a problem in
SuSE with the latest Nvidia drivers, the manual setup is necessary.

I've posted this to the list before. Not done real calculations
but everything is just kludged; I am typing this on that notebook @
1280x800 (pls see attachment: XF86Config-4).
