Resolution problem

Majority of my problem now are solved, but i have a very iritant last one! I am not able to set resolution higher than 1024x768 on a monitor that support 1280x1024 resolution. There is a solution to solve these problem? I have an integrated nvidia 7025 video card and I installed the "nv" drivers with tazx.

Some more information:

Re: Resolution problem

Please use Pastebin only for output over 15 lines.

Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It will say why xorg can't display 1280x1024

Post output here:

uname -a

Re: Resolution problem

The log indicates because NV(0): Estimated virtual size for aspect ratio 1.3200 is 1024x768

NV driver detects all resolutions 1280x1024 and greater:

Not using driver mode "1280x1024"(width too large for virtual size)

I was unable to find out how to configure xorg to ignore this and force a 1280x1024 resolution with the NV driver.

Try the nvidia driver:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/7v20zi36bbv0443/nvidia-173xx-173.14.28_2.6.37.tazpkg

Open xterm

su

password: root

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf

Change:

Driver "nv"

to

Driver "nvidia"

Ctrl+x

Y

Logout/Logout X session

If X fails to start with nvidia driver, login as root, tazx , reinstall nv, reboot.

Re: Resolution problem

try to add a new modeline to xorg.conf:
# Xorg --configure
in root directory will create a file xorg.conf, copy it in /etc/X11/, then add somthing like this:
.....
Section "Monitor"
           Modeline "1280x1024" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -Hsync +Vsync
......
Section "Screen"
           DefaultDepth 24
           .......
           SubSection "Display"
           Depth 24
           Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
           ....
.......

Especially for your monitor, you can find the settings for the Modeline on the Internet.
I hope this helps you solve this problem.

And I apologize for my poor English.))
