screen resol. X nvidia 4349

[aze]

Hi all!
I installed the recently released driver from nvidia for linux but now the screen resolution is always 800x600.
I already tryed change it using mandrake control center and restarting the X but it is always 800x600

Can you attach your /var/log/XFree86.0.log file? You'll have to rename it to a .txt extension first, though.

Sure!
Thanks for helping

(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1024x768":
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (1050) not a multiple of 8
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync width (1153 - 1050 = 103) not a multiple of
(WW) NVIDIA(0): 8 This is why it won't use 1024x768. Get rid of your mode line(s), since they aren't being used anyway (the other two are getting deleted from the list too).

XFree86, especially 4.3.0, comes with a whole ton of workable modelines for (almost) any conceivable resolution and refresh rate. Assuming your video card's DAC and your monitor can handle them, that is. Try using the default modelines for 1024x768 -- and you do this by deleting your custom mode lines. Actually, commenting them would work as well.

Thanks a lot! :)
It solved!
I just put a # in front of those lines.
I used xvidtune and adjusted the settings to 1024*768 includinfg refresh rate. But I didn´t know it´s unnecessary when installing nvidia driver.

[bwkaz]

It shouldn't be necessary even without the nVidia drivers. X should choose the highest refresh rate available that it knows about.

If you have to force a certain refresh rate (for example, if you run another OS that's set at some lower rate on the same monitor, and you don't want to bother with reconfiguring the monitor's OSD every time you boot), then you can use the new XFree86 4.3.0 gtf command. Give it a horizontal and vertical resolution, and a vertical refresh rate, and it'll output a usable modeline for that res and rate.

[aze]

then you can use the new XFree86 4.3.0 gtf command.
How come?

[bwkaz]

What do you mean "how come"?

I'm not sure what you're asking...

[aze]

How do I do that?
