[Bug 460510] Re: X.Org X server --Nvidia (Nouveau) display driver does not recognize screen resolution

2009-10-28 Thread Josy
Forgot to say, that now were the nouveau driver is running, the display
quality seems to be even better as the display quality of the driver
'nv'.

[Bug 460510] Re: X.Org X server --Nvidia (Nouveau) display driver does not recognize screen resolution

2009-10-25 Thread Josy
Not sure, if this is relevant here. I had a long time ago similar
trouble with this monitor Samsung Syncmaster 226bw when using nv driver
with debian lenny.  Seems the monitor had problems with its edid.

At the time when the following patch became applied, my problems
dissapeared:

http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=xorg-commit&a=2007-04&m=3595489

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/X11server/X11server-48.4/Xquartz
/xorg-server-1.3.0-apple22/hw/xfree86/modes/xf86EdidModes.c

I wonder if nouveau driver also includes above patch.

Here the output of get-edid | parse-edid (installed with package "read-
edid"), while running this PC again with nv-driver:

[Bug 460510] Re: X.Org X server --Nvidia (Nouveau) display driver does not recognize screen resolution

2009-10-25 Thread Chris Halse Rogers
As it currently stands, you are not actually *using* the nouveau driver.
Because it is still (kindof) experimental, you need to manually specify
"nouveau" as the driver you want to load in your xorg.conf - the nouveau
driver will *not* be auto-loaded.

 Simply creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the contents
"""
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
Driver  "nouveau"
EndSection
"""
should cause X to load the nouveau driver.
