nVidea GeForce 8500GT recognised by OpenSUSE 11.1

Belinea 103035W NOT in the Monitor List of YaST.
I use LCD and set up as in the technical specs of the manufacturer:
LCD 1680X1050@60 Hz
Display size: 20.1 Inch (X-axis 433mm x Y-Axis 271mm)
Aspect Ratio: 16/10
Sync Ferq: Horiz: 31 - 83 KHz ; Vert: 56 - 75 Hz

The round objects look like the flattened earth! Everything is pulled in
the Horizontal direction. I tried every setup possibility. No change

Anyone got an Idea how to get it right?

It was correct in OpenSUSE 10.3!


The system uses:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Resolution 1400x1050 - Auto Freq (75 or 60)
X Screen Number: 0
Color Depth: 16,7 Mill Colors (Depth 24)
Meta Mode: 1 (1400x1050 +0+0)

and because of that (1400x1050) it is stretched.


edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root with editor like kate or gedit.

change the Section "Monitor":
put a "#" in front of the lines dealing with syncs and modes.
so it looks like this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
VendorName "Belinea"
ModelName "103035W"
#UseModes "Modes[0]"
#DisplaySize 433 271
#HorizSync 31.0 - 83.0
#VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool"
Option "DPMS"
Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"
EndSection

comment out all lines with sync-values and sizes and the line with Modes[0].
so that monitor and gfx-card have to negotiate all these values.

next edit your Section "Screen".
so it looks like this part:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Device "Device[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1000" "1440x900" "1280x800" "1024x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection


you may add more SubSections "Display" with other depths like 16, 15 or 8.
important is to use "1680x1050" as first mode.
or try to put a "#" in front of the line beginning with "Modes".
