Sony Vaio VGN-FS115M - GeForce Go 6200
I'm stuck with the vesa driver and 1024x768... Any ideas? :confused: |
I have a Sony S3XP and am having the same problems. My only solution at the moment is using the VESA driver and 1024x768 too :(
I have heard that Mandrake natively supports this resolution, but I'm still not sure if our card will work. |
it doesn't... :(
|
|
it is... :D
let's wait and see thx for the link... |
Also, FWIW, I just tried the "nv" driver in Xorg 6.8.2-r1 (I think it was that version). It used all the screen (woohoo!), but I could only get it going at 640x480 (boo!). I'm going back to my last stable version of Xorg and will wait, although if you've desperate and fancy a play, it may be workable if you're better at setting up Xorg than me.
Good luck to us both! |
i guess i'll wait till they come up with the "real" driver...

Driver is already out
The driver for GeForceGo 6200 is out for linux. I've installed it but i can't get the screen running at 1280x800, i only get 1158x768, working with nvidia updated driver, or something similar. I've tried many things, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Dear All,
I'm a newbie, so anything I say might be wrong, but... I just installed FC3 on my VAIO. My screen is at 1280x800. Same thing happened, and I had to run for days in 1024x768. I read here that you can choose your res by making your own custom etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The relevant sections you need to change are: Code:
Section "Screen" The site has a demo .conf file here. Good luck! Akiva [EDIT] I think you can use the vesa driver... [/EDIT] |
Here is a link to my working xorg.conf for my Sony S3XP (nvidia 6200@1280x800).
I couldn't get the VESA driver to work at all so am using the recent Nvidia one. |
Ooops!
I really don't know...I'm the king of newbies... The vesa driver gave me a horrible 1024x768 but the changes made to the xorg.conf worked for me... Sorry about that if it was a bit irrelevant/incorrect! Akiva |
I just solved my problem on my Vaio VGN-FS115M. :cool: :D
After installing the newest nvidia driver, i was still stuck at 1024x768.... After trying several modelines, i finally found the correct one: Code:
