Cannot get nv driver to work and the vesa driver is limited
My computer has been experiencing sporadic hangs/crashes. For more information see my LQ thread: http://tinyurl.com/2gwd4m
In an attempt to see if it is the nvidia driver, I un-installed it an am trying to use a substitute in the meantime. The vesa driver is working, but it looks terrible on my LCD that has a native resolution of 1600x1200 (the vesa driver seems to have a limit of 1280x1024). When I replace the driver with "nv", the DVI input is not enabled and the VGA output is completely corrupted (ctrl+alt+backspace brings me back to the terminal corrupted too). How can I get a 1600x1200 with DVI support working on this nvidia e-GeForce 7300 GS card without using the NVidia drivers? My current xorg.conf: Code:

Why don't you try using the binary nvidia drivers? The latest version can be found here.
You'll need to have the kernel headers installed. IIRC, apt-get install linux-kernel-headers-`uname -r` is the command to install them. |
Thanks for responding, but apparently you didn't read any of my post.
I need a driver that is not the nvidia driver. My whole point is to not run the nvidia driver as I am trying to make sure it isn't the cause of my computer hangs. |
