Nvidia sudden low resolution
I have been running the nvidia driver on my dual monitor setup which consists of a 1680x1050 LCD monitor and a 1280x1024 CRT running on a dual head 8600GT.
Everything was running fine for the last 2 weeks until suddenly this morning, the nvidia driver stops detecting my LCD monitor and gives off a VGA resolution instead. A rather unworkable setup. So I did try to tweek the xorg.conf file for a few hours without any success.
Here is the config file:
Quote:
This machine is running Slackware 12.1 with the Nvidia driver 173.14.05
Any input appreciated.

Unfortunately, when I add the Modline parameter it outputs an error telling me that ''Modline'' is not a recognised parameter.

Mod
e line, not Modline. If that is just a typo and you did put Modeline, then I don't know what to suggest.

Sorry, it was a typo. It seems that the nvidia driver uses different options than vesa. Modeline does not seem to be one of them.

I am quite sure that is incorrect -- I'm currently using an nVidia card with their proprietary drivers and the Modeline was the only thing that allowed me to use full resolution. I'm NOT using a dual screen setup, so it still may not work, but you should definitely not get an error about the Modeline -- that's an X thing, not an nVidia thing. See `man xorg.conf` for more information. I have posted my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file below for a reference in case you added the Modeline stuff to the wrong section or something like that (that would be my guess as to why it would say that the Modeline is not a supported parameter). Here is the output of `grep -v ^\# /etc/X11/xorg.conf`:

I ran `xorgconfig` originally to setup the xorg.conf file, then I installed the nVidia drivers allowing them to magically update the xorg.conf file -- I haven't done anything magical to my file. Note that you can ignore the ServerFlags section -- I added that myself for unrelated issues.
Note that I am still not sure if this will fix your problem or not, since it's a dual screen setup, but it seems to fit the bill. At the very least, the Modeline option will be unsuccessful -- but it definitely should not give any errors if used correctly.

I think what you need is a "Modes" line under your "Display" subsection in your "Screen" sections.
You then might need to specify that certain modes use a particular vertical sync. In my case, the nvidia driver was by default selecting the wrong sync for my 640x480 mode, so I had to specify that it use 75Hz.
Here is basically what my "Screen" Section looks like
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "Nvidia"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480_75"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480_75"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480_75"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480_75"
EndSubSection
EndSection
This wasn't a problem for me in Slackware 12.0. I also mentioned this quirk in
Part 2 of my Upgrade HowTo .

This config file give me a centered 640x480 LCD screen seemingly panning a virtual 1680x1050 desktop and on the right, a CRT screen at 1280x1024 (good). My mouse cannot get on of the right screen...
Sure there are some unnecessary lines in there. But it show what does not work.
Any ideas on how to force the 1680x1050 resolution on the LCD screen?

Well, I still don't know that this will help, but you have a mismatch in your xorg.conf. You have "1680x1050_75.00" as the Modeline in your "Monitor" section for "Monitor1", but "1680x1050_75" in your "Screen" section for "Screen1". They should both be identical.

I changed the 75.00 for a 75. Unfortunately, same result...
Thank you for the suggestion.

Your xorg config is flawed..
You shouldn't have more than one device, and re-use the same device for both monitor... here you have... three!

I was just going to ask about that!
Do you have two 8600GT cards that your are using? I've never setup a dual head for Linux, though.
Also, are you sure that 75Hz is the right sync for that mode? There should be specific values in the monitors specs.
If there are two video cards, you didn't by any change mix up which one is driving which monitor in the config (is card1 driving Monitor0, etc)?
