Screen Resolutions
Well I'm running slackware-current atm on this box but i installed Peanut Distro on a spare box last night and it set up my screen resolution at 1400x1150 which looked awesome and that was the default setting with some crappy hardware and drivers.
BUT in slackware the most i can get is 1280x1040 :|, i have the newest NVIDIA drivers 5336 but i can not get the resolution any higher then what it is? I have messed with XF86Config for hours with no result, any one know of a fix or is it a locked resolution? |
Can you post the relevant sections of your xf86config file? (use the code tags to let it keep all formatting). We will better be able to advise if we can see that.

No Probs
Code:
# ********************************************************************** |
You entered 1400x1050 in your config.

At the moment, your pc appears to be using the generic Nvidia driver. Although it works fine it is a bit limited. It may be that it can't handle that size resoluton. I'd suggest getting the current drivers from www.nvidia.com (ensure you have installed your kernel sources) and see if getting the correct drivers will fix it.
Please note: there is a little bit of configuring to do with the Nvidia drivers, make sure you either print off the instructions or makes notes of the relevant sections, that is, the bits that apply to xf86config changes. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3 # HorizSync 30-64 # multisync # HorizSync 31.5, 35.2 # multiple fixed sync frequencies --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your current HorizSync settings will not allow anything over 1280x1024. Change your HorizSync rate to HorizSync 31.5-86 then add the resolution you like and it will be listed in kcontrol the next time you start x. |
Thanks ppl but i figured it out
If anyone else has the same probs which alot will , if you use the 5336 drivers , it limits the resolution to what the monitor can handle but there is a way around it Under the "Monitor" section in XF86Config put Option "IgnoreEDID" and thats it it will over ride the resolutions that your monitor tells the Graphics card it can use and up the Vert and Horz Frequency too while ya there . Thanks for ya help |
