Hi,
Two questions:
1) I got a new (used) monitor, a Fujitsu Siemens MCM 21P1. It's supposed to work in 1600x1200 at 90hz. Here is a data sheet with it's specifications:
http://cs.fhm.edu/~ifw03064/mcm21p1.pdf
First I only put the VertRefresh and HSync rate in my xorg.conf. This way it's only 1600x1200@85.
I tried using modelines (generated by xtiming generator at sf.net), but this doesn't work either.
Modeline "1600x1200@90" 332.05 1600 1632 2888 2920 1200 1221 1239 1261
Since there was an error message in the Xorg.0.log I tried using the NVIDIA option IgnoreEDID, this doesn't work too.
This are the settings in my xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
HorizSync 30.0 - 125.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
Modeline "1600x1200@90" 332.05 1600 1632 2888 2920 1200 1221 1239 1261

Here the interesting part of the Xorg.0.log:

Here is the complete log:
http://cs.fhm.edu/~ifw03064/Xorg.0.log
Normally I'd be happy with 85hz, but the picture appears to be a little bit blurry, almost as if deinterlacing was switched on or smth.
I tried using different nvidia driver versions, the latest (7174) and 7167. Older ones, like 6629 refuse to compile.
When i choose nv driver instead of nvidia, the monitor runs in 90hz, but the picture is totally messed up then, it doesn't cover the hole screen, but is misplaced and crimped somewhere in the middle of the screen.
Any ideas, what I could do, to make this work?
2)
In the kernel settings unter Device Drivers -> Block Devices -> IO Schedulers
Do I need all of them? All are registered during bootup, are they all really getting used?
Or can I throw something out?
Thx for any help
