Resolution problem with nVidia driver only
I have SlackWare 10.2 up and running. I've installed the nVidia drivers and everything's fine except the monitor resolution.
It's a Samtron 55E, I've already went to their website and checked for the Horizontal and Vertical refresh rate values and updated them into the xorg.conf file. The problem is that using the driver nvidia I can't get the 1024x768 resolution (only 640x480 or 800x600). This I think because with this driver the only refresh rate available for me it's 85Hz and in the Samtron site they say that 85Hz is only for 800x600 and 640x480, for 1024x768 it should be 75Hz... Weird is that if I use the driver vesa I can get the 1024x768 resolution. So is there a way to force a refresh rate of 75Hz so that I can get a 1024x768 resolution with the nvidia driver? Thanks |
After installing the Nvidia driver, did you change /etc/X11/xorg.conf
manually to reflect the change to the Nvidia driver? On my test box I let the Nvidia driver make the changes, and this is how it's setup: Code:
mingdao@test:~$ less /etc/X11/xorg.conf Code:
mingdao@test:~$ less /etc/X11/xorg.conf And finally, you can run this command to see what's available: Code:
mingdao@test:~$ xrandr |
SlakTux,
You can try limiting the range of allowed VertRefresh frequencies to a maximum of 75 Hz. However, the nVidia driver uses EDID if the monitor supports it. And if EDID is detected, then the driver may just ignore your many of your settings in your xorg.conf file. I had a similar problem with my new LCD monitor. The driver would always choose the highest VertRefresh frequency no matter what values I has configured. If you look at the README.txt that comes with the nVidia driver there are some options that you may need to set in your xorg.conf file. You may need to disable EDID by adding the option 'IgnoreEDID True'. |

Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" in the Monitor section? Thanks |
Yes, in the:
