1680x1050 widescreen not available?

Micro420 · 12-22-2006, 11:20 AM

I cannot get my Mandriva to go 1680x1050 even though my xorg.conf file shows it correctly. It always reverts to something bigger, like 1900x????. I even commented out these other modes I don't need! Any suggestions? All the other linux distros I used have had no problems getting this resolution.

Try this:

Code:

Section "Modes"
    Identifier "16:10"
    # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz
    Modeline "1680x1050"  147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087
    # 1680x1050 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 82.20 kHz; pclk: 188.07 MHz
    Modeline "1680x1050"  188.07  1680 1800 1984 2288  1050 1051 1054 1096
    # 1680x1050 @ 85.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 93.76 kHz; pclk: 214.51 MHz
    Modeline "1680x1050"  214.51  1680 1800 1984 2288  1050 1051 1054 1103
    # 1680x1050 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 111.20 kHz; pclk: 256.20 MHz
    Modeline "1680x1050d"  256.20  1680 1808 1992 2304  1050 1051 1054 1112
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "LCD" <--change this to yours-->
    DisplaySize 426 266
    HorizSync   31.5-100
    VertRefresh 30-90
    Option "dpms" "on"
    UseModes "16:10"
EndSection

may work?

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    BusID       "PCI:01:00:0"
    Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" <-- May need this too -->
    #VideoRam    131072
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Nope, no go. "UseModes" is not a valid option.

This is really bizarre as everything looks correct in my xorg.conf file. I'm getting frustrating with Mandriva!!!!!
