Amitech monitor
I have an Amitech Monitor which worked without any problem until I installed the NVidia VGA drivers.
Now I can't set up a resolution above 1024 x 768. If I try to set it higher the Desktop sort of becomes larger than the monitor. I can't see it all, and when I move the cursor to the edges, I can scroll the Desktop. Not sure how to explain, but I hope you understand what i mean :) I use MDK 10, but had the same problem with 9.2. I have another monitor (KFC) which works fine in high resolutions. Thank you -Holme :confused: |
You have a modelines problem...
the generic drivers you were using probably had a good monitor modelines section, while the current one has a refresh rate to resolution setting that's out of the range of your monitor... Check on Google for a linux modelines calculator. Input your refresh rates and monitor resolution so that you can get the proper settings. Then edit your XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file (depending on which distro you use) to use those settings instead of the ones that it's defaulting to. |
Thank you for your answer.
I found a calculator at http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/l...modeline2.cgi, but i have both XF86config and XF86Config-4, which one do I have to change? |
Might as well change them both,... Although I think that in Mandy, the XFree86Config-4 file is the file that is being used in an XFree86 version 4.3.X environment.

I tried at http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl and at http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/modeline/ but none of them worked.
The specs. of my monitor are: # 800 x 600 Non-Interlace, 100Hz # 1024 x 768 Non-Interlace, 85Hz # 1280 x 1024 Non-Interlace, 60Hz # 30-70KHz horizontal scan frequency # 50-150Hz vertical scan frequency # 110MHz Dot Clock Frequency I believe I have learned some about XFree86 as I worked with this problem, but I can't seem to solve it. |
Post the monitor section and the screens section of your XF86Config-4.

Here goes:

Ok, try the following,
Code:
Section "Monitor" |
Okay, now it looks as so:
Code:
Section "Monitor" I'm still in 1024x768 mode. How's that? :scratch: |
Are you sure that the monitor supports modes bigger than 1024x768?
Do you have a link to the monitor specs? |
I have used the resolution 1152x864 before I installed the NVidia drivers. Very strange.
The only specs are at this site: http://www.amitech.dk/support/starts...n=vis&aid=1775 but it's in danish. I believe the company is danish too. Here are the specs. translated into my bad English :) : BZ-772M: General: * Model BZ-772M * 17" * 1280 x 1024 (Non-Interlace) max resolution * 0.27 mm Dot Pitch * 15,7" visible screen size * Analog RGB (15 pin D-sub) port * Energy safe function * Plug´n´Play * TCO 95 low radiation * build-in microphone * On-Screen-Display (OSD) Functions * Light/Contrast * Hight/Width * Horizontal/Vertical placing * Pincushion * Trapez * Unbalance * Parallelogram * Rotation * Color balance * OSD placing * OSD timer * Information * Degauss * Reset * Language Screen update * 800 x 600 Non-Interlace, 100Hz * 1024 x 768 Non-Interlace, 85Hz * 1280 x 1024 Non-Interlace, 60Hz * 30-70KHz horizontal scan frequency * 50-150Hz vertical scan frequency * 110MHz Dot Clock Frequence Electrical values * 100 - 240 AC Volt, 50 - 60 Hz * ≤ 110W max use * ≤ 5W standby use * ≤ 5W softoff use Dimensions / Weight * Ca. 412(H) x 406(B) x 435(D) mm * Weight ca. 15,5 kg That's all I know... :study: |

Option "NoDDC" "Yes" |
Hmm.. There was a change.
This time KDE tried to show a resolution of 1152x864, but in the usual screen-scrooling way. Just like when I try to force the resolution through. Furthermore i received a lot of messages of programs which were crashed. |
Oh, and the "Device section looked like this:
Code:
Section "Device" |
It's starting to look like 1152x864 is not fully supported by this monitor,
