Simple Nvidia Question

wolfden · 06-22-2006, 03:53 AM

I just installed RR4 and with the driver set to "nv" in the xorg I can get resolution 1600x1280. With it set to "nvidia" I can only get 1280x1024. I want it at 1600x1280. When I try it at that level my monitor pops up a no signal box and I have to hit F1 to get to the commandline and change the xorg with nano.

Video Card
FX5200

Nvidia Driver
8762

Hi wolfden!

Did you downloaded the "latest-greatest" nvidia driver from the nvidia homepage? If no, download it.

ummm ok, but the 8762 is the latest

Um, productive post that second one :/

wolfden: Try adding this to your xorg.conf in the Devices section.

Code:

Option      "IgnoreEDID"    "true"
