 Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 3:48 am Post subject: Xorg Resolution limit for Dell 2405FPW LCD? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I just bought a new machine, Athlon 64 3000+, nForce4 Motherboard, GeForce 6600 GT, compiled gentoo 2.6 kernel for AthlonXP. My xorg.conf file looks like this:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "vga"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce 6600 GT"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "GeForce 6600 GT"
Monitor "DELL_LCD"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1600x1200" "1920x1200"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

Anyway I'm trying to get this new Dell 24" LCD display (1920x1200 @ 60Hz) working, however, after configuring X11, I can only get 1280x1024 resolution. I checked the logs and I found several lines saying stuff like:
Larger than BIOS programmed panel of size 1280x1024...
Not exactly sure what this means...
I checked the installation guide, It mentioned under section 10: "Configuring the Bootloader" an optional frame buffer mode. I tried adding "vesafb-tng" to my grub.conf file as it suggested, but it didn't fix my problem. I looked at adding the vga=XXX line, but there didn't appear to be a way to give it 1920x1200.
After this, I decided to give up for the night, emerge gnome, and ask for help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated![/code]

Thanks everyone! I got it to display 1920x1200 resolution, and it looks fantastic.
I ended up emerging the nvidia drivers and adding those "ModeLine" lines. However, now I have problems with 3D on the nvidia drivers, when I run glxinfo, I get tons of lines saying:
| Code: |
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
|
as well as
| Code: |
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
|
the Xorg.0.log file also says
| Code: |
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
...
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
|
I followed the gentoo nvidia installation guide...Any suggestions? |
