Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal
On an IBM IntelliStation A Pro running debian-amd64 with a 20" LCD IBM
L200P, X comes up very pixelated at 1600x1200. When I use xrandr to
choose a lesser resolution, the picture becomes clear, but the display
only uses a fraction of the monitor's screen. I will attach photographs
of 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 to illustrate. I apologize in advance if the
photos are too big.
When using the vesa driver, the maximum resolution is 1280x1024 which
uses the entire monitor's screen, but the picture is not clear as if it
is not the native resolution. (Which for this 20" monitor, I believe it
isn't.)
When I used an analog cable with a DVI adapter, I couldn't get X to
display properly at all, though I only went this route to see if the
cable would solve it. (Sometimes using an analog cable produces better
results than the DVI.)
lspci:
:09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 034e
(rev a1)
Also, I did try upgrading to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6, but that did not solve the
problem. I downgraded for now due to local site reasons.
