Nvidia Driver Resolution Strangeness (solved)

Bigun · Advocate Joined: 21 Sep 2003 Posts: 2196

Everything seemed to work fine with the 6111 drivers.

- I was able to acheive 1280x800 resolution

- 3D rendering *used* to work

Now, something about the emul drivers changed and the 6111 drivers no longer would read the GL subsystem.

Now, I could stand running the new 6629 drivers, except that it will not give me 1280x800, instead gives me 1024x768 with some *UBER* weird results that I will have to take a picture of and post for you to see.

My question is this, if by chance someone knows what I'm talking about, how do I fix this?

I don't know is the info that follows is pretty basic or will be helpful. My default resolution is 1152x864, whis is also non-standard. To get it, here are the relevant parts of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Sorry, didn't seem to help.

I know that the 1280x800 resolution needs to be listed first, but it still defaults to 1024x768 and looks *VERY* funky. And this *EXACT* config worked for the 6111 drivers perfectly. Here are some system info stats if it helps.

Then I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm a recent newbie not only to Linux/Gentoo, but to PC hardware. I'm a Mac OS X user at home, and used to be also at the office, until they bought me a new AMD64 box which replaced my old PowerMac.

Did you make sure the "Monitor" section has the right info for your monitor, and that xorg is taking the monitor info from that definition, and not from another generic one that might be in xorg.conf?

I'm fairly sure.

Have you looked at this thread? There seems to be a working xorg.conf for 1280x800.

Same result

Okay, At the bottom, the pixels repeat each other all the way down. And off to the right, there is blank space, then repeats some pixels somewhere in the middle, them more blank space. And it doesn't stretch to fullscreen like it should at 1024x768... it does that.
