 Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 1:11 am Post subject: Nvidia and Xorg 7.2 woes [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I just upgraded to xorg 7.2 and am having a heck of a time.
My Graphics card is a GeForce3 Ti 200
If I use nvidia-legacy-drivers I get 8bit color and no opengl
If I use nvidia-drivers-1.0.9631 I get max resolution of 1024x768 and it says refresh rate of 50 (but it seems to be faster).
If I use the newer nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1 as recommended I get "FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/video/nvidia.ko): No such device" when doing a modprobe nvidia
Any Ideas. I know my card is getting old, but it had been fine.

You want:
| Code: | | Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" |
See thread. |

Have you tried "Modes" in your "Screen" section?
| Code: |
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900"
EndSubSection
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection |

That would seem like an easy fix. It was not the fix though. I had mine set up like:
| Code: |
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
|
Replacing with yours changes nothing. Thanks Though. |

Well, 1440x900 is a widescreen resolution. You may not have a widescreen. This was just an example.
What resolution are you looking for? Replace the 1440x900 with "your" desired resolution and try it. |

Ok, things are better, I put 1280x1024 as the mode.
I used to use 1152x768 at 85hz (i think)
Now I can use 1152x864 at 75hz the aspect seems fine( ie I can't really see the diff) but the refresh is lower
I guess 1152x864 is the better choice anyway with an aspect 1.33
If I try 1152x768 the max refresh I can get is 55hz
I guess 1152x864 is the better choice anyway with an aspect 1.33 and I guess I would just love to up my refresh.
What is slightly troublesome I guess is every thing was fine using Nvidia legacy drivers under 7.1.
I can call this solved but I am not sure it is perfect.
Thanks for all the help by the way

You can always try
| Code: |
$ gtf 1152 768 85
# 1152x768 @ 85.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 68.60 kHz; pclk: 106.46 MHz
Modeline "1152x768_85.00" 106.46 1152 1224 1352 1552 768 769 772 807 -HSync +Vsync
|
and place the custom Modeline in the "Monitor" section of your xorg.conf.
I don't know if this will work nor if it's really what you want. |

I did this, I hope I did it right.
| Code: |
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "F74"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
Modeline "1152x864_85.00" 119.65 1152 1224 1352 1552 864 865 868 907 -HSync +Vsync
#HorizSync 30 - 70
#VertRefresh 55 - 120
EndSection
|
It did not change a thing. But truth be known I am quite happy. I am going to call this solved.
Thanks for all the help |
