 Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2005 9:43 am Post subject: Widescreen resulotion problems |
 |
|
Hello, i am fiddling around with my laptop that have a widescreen.
I have gotten it to run in 1280x768 before, the producer claims that it can run 1280x800.
But i currently have problems to get a res higher than 800x600.
It dont work, if i try to use modelines doesnt change a thing.
My xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the font modules

yeah i am having same the same problem, and judging by what the Xorg logs tell me, it might be the nvidia driver.
| Code: | bok ~ # grep 1280x800 /var/log/*
/var/log/Xorg.0.log:(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1280x800" (no mode of this name)
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1280x800" (no mode of this name)
|
might try nv driver, but that obviously means no acceleration :-/
I am using the latest driver too.

Hm.. I get this.
I didn't know my hsync and vsync so i guessed, do anyone know how to guess the hsync and vsync or how i can see it from windows (I have a partition with it because of school).
| Code: |
louise kawsper # grep 1280x768 /var/log/*
/var/log/Xorg.0.log:(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1280x768@60.00" (hsync out of range)
/var/log/Xorg.0.log:(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1280x768" (no mode of this name)

hrmmm power strip seems to be giving me incorrect info about my monitor. what did it report for you?
when you say "now it runs perfectly", does this mean you are running it with a res of 1280x800? do your logs have any errors regarding your res? would you mind posting the monitor, screen and device sections of your xorg.conf for my perusal?
thanks in advance

Sure.
I installed powerstrip, run it, and rightclicked on its icon down left to the clock, Display Defaults -> Configure. Hsync and Vsync stands there. I can post you my xorg.conf when i am home, i cant boot into linux right now, because i did experience crashes with the newest nvidia driver, so i tried to install an older one. It didnt work proporly, my screen hangs and i cant do nothing. Anyone knows how to disable gdm on bootup?

powerstrip ....
Maximum resolution - 1600 x 1200 at 0Hz
Maximum refresh rate - 0 Hz at 640 x 480
so i tried running at 1600x1200 and i couldnt see half the screen :-/
i would like to try 1600x1200@0Hz, but i dont think the image quality would be very good at 0Hz :D
It was nice of my boss to buy my this laptop, but it's been driving me insane... this video issue, and no support for the ethernet device. I never thought i would say this, but i prefer using it with windoze. |
