 Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2006 9:56 pm Post subject: [Solved] no widescreen modes with nvidia-8762 ?! |
 |
|
I've been happily using nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r5 with my WSXGA DFP display and a CRT until I got that unknown symbols error. I'd been running in xinerama mode with my DFP in 1280x800 and the CRT in 1280x1024 mode.
So I switched to the 8762 driver and now I can't get my DFP to work in the 1280x800 mode.
Here's my xorg.conf (which worked just fine with the 6629 drivers, except that I changed the ConnectedMonitor and UserDisplayDevice options)

So somehow the new driver seems to ignore my modelines.
Does someone have the same problem?

| The newer drivers should detect the DFP modes without an entry. Are you sure that LCD does 75Mhz vertical refresh? |

Like I said, that same xorg.conf worked flawlessly with the 6629-r5 nvidia kernel.
The Modelines where from a site dedicated to running gentoo on an inspiron 8600 and they worked for more than 3 years now. My DFP is able to run in up to 1680x1050 pixels.
I tried commenting out the UseModes directive in the monitor section, nothing changed, so that supports me in my guessing that the driver simply ignores the ModeLines.
Another thing I tried was using "nvidia-auto-select" as a mode for the DFP, which resulted in the 1680x1050 resolution. (But that's unsusable in xinerama mode)
And It feels just as if my fonts are now a lot bigger on the CRT, which has the same resolution as before. |

Out of this situation I switched to using TwinView (which didn't work for me a couple of years ago, now it does..)

#Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0,CRT-0"
EndSection |
Same effect, more glx 
A bit of finetuning is still required though, now the fonts are way too small - DPI too high. |
