Rep:
Just some thoughts...
I have a Dell Latitude D620 and it is WXGA+ (1440x990). I think I know what you are talking about in that the desktop does not take up the FULL screen of the monitor. I later learned that there was an option in my BIOS to "stretch" the screen, but when I did this it would not take up the full screen in Windows/Linux. I later turned off this "stretch" feature in the BIOS and now my LInux takes up the whole screen. Of course, this is my laptop so double check that.
try this : Horiz Sync 28.0 - 64.0
Vert Sync 43.0 - 60.0
nope does not helps
....
ive tryed this modeline:
# ModeLine "1280x800" 172.73 1280 1336 1616 1728 800 802 814 840
# Modeline "1280x800@60i" 33.41 1280 1312 1432 1464 720 736 740 757 interlace
# Modeline "1280x800@60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824 841
# Modeline "1280x800" 97.18 1280 1296 1552 1664 800 800 808 835
none of them are good inaf
the xorg outputs :horizsync is out of range for each of them
and jumpt so 1280x768 - witch works fine but look s ugly...

Try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it asks at one moment if your screen is an lcd or not... then choose the real maximum resolution, try another refresh rate then 60Hz... etc... etc...
Had a few problems with my laptop"s lcd...
dpkg-reconfigure not asking if screen is lcd ->
I think that the problem of is the dpkg question priority (only very important questions displayed, for others default values are used)...
try doing a dpkg-reconfigure debconf (and select low or medium priority) before dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
by the way, try 640x400 and 960x600 and see if they work - first one half-res - > so smooth enough but low res, second one 3/4 of 1280x800, so not so smooth, non-standard, but might be ok
solved!
seems the problem was in the nvidia drivers for all the kernells exept the 2.6.15-26-amd64-k,
the xorg was outputting "not using mode:1280x800 becase low memory";
my xorg(works):
Code:
leon@leon-desktop:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
