On a machine with an old but unproblematic nvidia card (RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro), the default KMS settings do not find the 1280x1024 modes at all and the system boots into 1024x768.
After turning off KMS via grub "nomodeset", a 1280x1024 video mode is found and used. HOWEVER the refresh rate is stated as "0 Hz" in the gnome monitor settings (actually 60Hz vertical, 64 Hz horizontal - this read off the monitor). (nouveau driver used in both cases) -- Some working video modes not listed by xrandr and some listed do not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
