hello! i think the problem is quite typical, but though it confuses me.
i'm using slackware 9.1 and XFree is 4.4.0.
i used 'nv' drivers before i installed 'nvidia' drivers from their homesite.
'nv' XF86Config file had critical lines like this:
Code:
# Any number of monitor sections may be present
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
HorizSync 30-96
VertRefresh 50-160
vendorname "NEC"
modelname "MultiSync fe791sb"
ModeLine "1152x864/99Hz" 137.65 1152 1184 1312 1536 864 866 885 902 -HSync -VSync
EndSection
# Any number of graphics device sections may be present
Section "Device"
Identifier "VESA Framebuffer"

EndSection

this config worked with 'nv' drivers like expected. 1152x864 and 100Hz. i created that file using old working XF86Config VESA drivers config file, that's why the device is named "VESA Framebuffer", and as i understand, that is not what matters. so i edited my XF86Config and replaced 'nv' with 'nvidia' and checked that other options are correct. i did a reboot and wondered, if i am supposed to or not.
when i started X with startx, my visual resolution was 800x600 and 85 Hz, but the screen was larger (i think 1052x864) and i was able to move it using mouse.
then i altered:
Code:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1152x864/99Hz" #"800x600" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
after i commented out this part (#"800x600" "640x480"), X started with 1052x864 resolution, but was using only 75Hz.
i haven't got any ideas, what to do. i want it working with 100Hz.
