Presario R3000 and nVidia fails

Recirqie · 11-20-2005, 02:49 PM

I've just put Suse 10.0 boxed edition into this laptop. However after upgrading from the Suse-site nVidia shows at startup and the display won't give 1280x800. I can use Yast to set it but on rebooting things go back to 1028x728. And I cannot find anywhere to configure the touchpad to disable the touch part of the main pad which is far too sensitive.

I have the same laptop (although with Debian) and I have everything working.

I have the latest nVidia drivers (7676) and kernel 2.6.13 since this resolves some bugs with the PCMCIA/Cardbus.
I am using the xorg server (not xfree86) and it automatically found 1280x800 without an extra modeline.
If it is not doing that you can add the following to your XF86Config-4 (or xorg.conf)
In the Monitor section:

Code:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "WXGA"
        ModeLine "1280x800" 83.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828
        Option          "IgnoreEDID"          "true"
EndSection

Without the "IgnoreEDID" option it might/will fail as '1280' is greater than the edid '1024' value
For the touchpad I have these settings and it seems to work nicely

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Alps Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "LeftEdge"              "60"
        Option          "RightEdge"             "830"
        Option          "TopEdge"               "70"
        Option          "BottomEdge"            "650"
        Option          "FingerLow"             "25"
        Option          "FingerHigh"            "30"
        Option          "MaxTapTime"            "180"
        Option          "MaxTapMove"            "110"
        Option          "EmulateMidButtonTime"  "75"
        Option          "VertScrollDelta"       "50"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "50"
        Option          "MinSpeed"              "0.2"
        Option          "MaxSpeed"              "0.5"
        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.01"
        Option          "EdgeMotionSpeed"       "40"
        Option          "UpDownScrolling"       "1"
        Option          "TouchpadOff"   "0"
EndSection

A number of xfree86/xorg examples are at this site

Thanks, I'll look into the touchpad thing later. I got the screen to work via YaST, it requires a weird combination of the same setting in three different places. I really wonder why it is put together the way it is.
