 Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 12:27 am Post subject: how to disable mode validation? |
 |
|
| In a nutshell, I'm going crazy because no matter what resolution I specify, the nvidia driver complains it wasn't able to validate it, so it defaults to 1024x768 when my monitor's native res is 1680x1050. It has a corrupt edid so I'm trying to just tell nvidia to use the ******* 1680x1050. I've tried using NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck, NoVirtualSizeCheck, but nvidia still wants to try to validate 1680x1050. How can I tell the nvidia driver to shove it and just use the damn resolution I ask it to use? |

To get the nvidia driver to run my laptop's panel at its full resolution, I had to drop the refresh rate very slightly:
| /etc/xorg.conf: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DFP-0"
HorizSync 29-75
VertRefresh 59
EndSection |

Try
| Code: | | Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" |
in the device section

That's the thing though, I tell it to not use EDID and it still tries to tell me the modes I pass to it are no good.
I'll try screwing with the refresh rates but that is a crappy hack. Is there no way to tell nvidia to not bother with validation? |
