|
|
The nvidia driver doesn't like the mode 1280x1024 too much on a newly installed amd64 desktop. The highest resolution I can get is 1024x768. Does anybody see why this happens? I have tried several modifications in my xorg.conf to no avail.

Yes, I have. In the current config DefaultDepth is set to 24, for which no modeline is being used. _________________ 42 |

I had the same problem and solved it with:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf: |
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "MX440"
Monitor "Daewoo"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0"
# Enable 32-bit ARGB GLX Visuals
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
# Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 15
# Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
# Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
# Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

please look at line: Option "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0"
If you are not sure of that - please use media-video/nvidia-settings and look for generated config _________________ nBVCXz

Interesting idea, but metamodes doesn't work for me. The driver keeps saying "no valid modes":
Code: |
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.

(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888

What could cause the warning (looks like an error to me) in line "WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode"? _________________ 42 |

Thanks to all, finally, this snippet in section Screen helped out and solved the issue:
Code: |
Option "HorizSync" "DFP-0:40-70"
Option "VertSync" "DFP-0:59-61"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024"
