dell monitor e228wfp / fedora core 6


Hi,
I have been trying to configure my dell monitor e228wfp without success. I have an optiplex gx620 running with fedora core 6. I would like to use the optimum resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60 hz. I tried configuring my xconf.org, but did not manage to do it correctly.
Thanks

Dell E228WFP xorg.conf

I just got my E228WFP yesterday and it is up and running now. I have a Nvidia 5200 graphics card, and can use either the nvidia or the nv driver. With the nvidia driver it was pretty much plug and play, I just had to add the correct mode (1680x1050). With the nv driver I also had to add a modeline statement, which I obtained from running gtf.

I had done some searching here on the web, and I can tell you that using the refresh rate of 55 that some have recommended DOES NOT WORK. However 56 DOES work, although the clock is slightly higher than the 135mhz limit. If I am in fact overclocking the card, it is by less than 1%.

Here is the relevant part of my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Dell"
ModelName "E228WFP"
# 1680x1050 @ 56.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 60.70 kHz; pclk: 135.98 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050" 135.98 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1051 1054 1084 -HSync +Vsync
