Re: increasing screen resolution, nvidia xconf.org

2009-12-07 Thread Tomislav Butkovic 
Hey everyone,

I've realized that while the graphics card supports up to 1500x*, the actual
LCD screen in the laptop only supports 1024x768. A Seiko screen.

Thanks to everyone for the help!

The rest of the Xorg log would help -- certainly the parts about probed 
and available resolutions are relevant -- and if you are using KMS 
(Kernel Mode-Setting), parts of dmesg.

Hi,

I'd like to once again thank those of you who have responded to my 
earlier emails on the subject in question.


The solution to my problem turned out to be an easy one. I upgraded to 
Squeeze which uses 'xserver-xorg-video-nv' version '1:2.1.14-2', which 
automatically sets the screen resolution to '1366x768'.


So I thought I'd report back to the community just in case someone else 
find themselves in a similar situation and might find this post useful.


Regards,

Alexander Kapshuk.

How about using "xrandr" to set the desired screen resolution? 

You have some use samples in its wiki:

If you have not installed nvidia-settings do so, nvidia-settings will
only run in X mode, so open your console and type: nvidia-settings and
that will start nvidia-settings, make what ever changes you need, these
changes will only be in effect until you reboot, so after you make the
changes click apply and close nvidia-settings, in the console type: su 
and then the root password and restart nvidia-settings and double check 
your settings and apply them, now you can save the settings to x-config 
and the changes will stick.

nvidia-xconfig is in a separate package called "nvidia-xconfig". I ran it and 
it created a simple config with no resolutions listed. My max resolution is 
1024x768 also (with a number of smaller resolutions) but so far that hasn't 
bothered me.

I'll be following this thread to see what can be done to increase that.

increasing screen resolution, nvidia xconf.org

2009-12-04 Thread Tomislav Butkovic 
Hello,

I have been for the last few months trying to figure out how to increase the
screen resolution on my Dell Inspiron 5150 running Debian Lenny with a
GeForce FX Go5200 64mb.

The maximum screen resolution is currently 1024x768.

I have entered '1280x1024' into the xorg.conf file under Screen >> Modes:


*

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor"Monitor0"
DefaultDepth24
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
SubSection "Display"
Depth   24
Modes  "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection

*


This does not work, and gives me the following result in the xconf log:

*

(--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce FX Go5200 at
(--) NVIDIA(0): PCI:1:0:0:
(--) NVIDIA(0): Seiko (DFP-0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): Seiko (DFP-0): 270.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
(--) NVIDIA(0): Seiko (DFP-0): Internal Dual Link LVDS
(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: DFP-0
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default
mode
(WW) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select".
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1024 x 768
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (86, 84); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config


*

I am not sure how to proceed, but it would really be nice to have a larger
screen resolution to work with. Would anyone be able to assist me? I have
installed the nvidia drivers the 'debian way' rather than using the nvidia
installer. I believe that is the reason I don't have access to
'nvidia-settings' like some people do. I'm not too familiar with working in
a terminal or with debian linux.

If anyone can assist, I would appreciate it.

Thank You,

Tomislav
