I find the nvidia drivers always worked best for me when i explicitly set the options for modes , freqencies and DPI. I also found that in some of the driver versions disabling monitor settings probe with EDID sometimes helped also as it would over-ride any manually configured options in the xorg.conf Check out appendix D of the nvidia linux driver docs for the options regarding modes and mode validation. http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9629/README/appendix-d.html These options mentioned in appendix D should usually be place in the 'device' section but maybe also the 'screen' section. For example here I deny the driver the ability to probe my monitor for valid modes using the Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes" directive, this allows be to manually set my modes in the xorg.cong file Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce 7800 GS AGP" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes" EndSection Regards Graham -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
