After installing NVIDIA driver, resolution limited to 1024x768
I've searched for people with similar experiences but no luck so far. I had my Slackware 10.0 system setup with my NVIDIA 5200 FX graphics card w/o the NVIDIA driver installed, and it could run in 1280x1024. Now that the driver is installed, it won't go past 1024x768.
I installed the driver in accordance with the documentation provided by NVIDIA. I'm sure my horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates are correct; I'm sure I have "1280x1024" entered in the appropriate place in my xorg.conf, I'm sure it says Driver "nvidia" and Load "glx" in the graphics card section of my xorg.conf; and I'm sure Load "dri" and Load "GLcore" have been removed from xorg.conf. The GL screensavers work really nicely and I see the NVIDIA splash screen when starting X so I know it installed. The only thing I can think it could be is that in the install it told me a certain module was being loaded in my kernel that could conflict with the NVIDIA driver. I forgot what exactly it was but I could go back and find out somehow if this is the only suspicious thing. |
It was probably agpgart and that's more than likely not your problem but go ahead and comment it out of /etc/rc.d/rc.modules . Sorry if the folder direction is wrong but I'm on my windows partition.

i don't want to hi-jack the thread but I do have similar problem.
I am running redhat 9 in my Dell Inspiron 8200 notbook which has an nVidia GeForce 4 440 Go video card. After installing the appropriate driver from nvidia, my resolution is limited to 800x600. whenever i try to change the display settings, I receive this notification: Quote:
