[opensuse] Issue with max resolution.
Hi.
I run opensuse 11.3 with GeForce 6200.
It is running ok at 1600x1200
The monitoris an Acer X233H.
But at 1900x1024 it will not work.
I have here what I get from running startx:
startx shows this:

Why do you expect a native 1920x1080 device to work at 1900x1024?

Xorg.0.log claims to have just told you at least part of your problem right there.
This is my xorg.conf
11.3 doesn't have SaX2 any more, so what follows is inexplicable, unless you copied it from an earlier openSUSE version, like 11.2, which uses v8.1.

Report back what happens when you start X after having removed xorg.conf from 11.3's /etc/X11. Optionally, also try starting with xorg.conf, but only after fixing the parse error reported by the log. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I was not quite sure what resolution the 19xxXyyyy was, so that was a guess only.

Xorg.0.log claims to have just told you at least part of your problem right there.
But as I'm not sure what the info means, it would be nice to have info on what I do.

I now that about Sax2 not being with in 11.3. The xorg.conf I use is a
one from 11.2, that worked.
I never tested it with 1900x1024. For now it is slightly modified.
Here is the original copy from 11.2:

Here is the original copy from 11.2:
Remove everything in xorg.conf prior to the section below here:
Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool" DisplaySize 305 230 HorizSync 31-75 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "1600X1200@60HZ" Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200" VendorName "--> VESA" VertRefresh 50-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection
And change the above section to that below: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[0]" VendorName "acer" ModelName "X233H" HorizSync 54.2-83.8 VertRefresh 49-75 DisplaySize 509.76 286.74 Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" # UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection
Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" EndSection
Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1600x900" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1360x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1280x720" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection
I'm pretty sure most or all the above is obsolete for your video card in 11.3, but if it isn't, you certainly don't want your preferred mode omitted, so change the Modes line above to the following, which omits all the (inappropriate) 4:3 modes: Modes "1920x1080" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1600x900" "1440x900" "1366x768" "1360x768" "1280x800" "1280x768" "1280x720" And in the section following that change 'Driver "nvidia"' to 'Driver "nv"' Remove the following sections:
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection
Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" EndSection
I restarted without the xorg.conf, and now I only have 1024x768 resolution.
Possibly your display has broken EDID/DDC.
The /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf has this:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor"
## If your monitor doesn't support DDC you may override the ## defaults here HorizSync 54.2-83.8 VertRefresh 49-75
## Add your mode lines here, use e.g the cvt tool
EndSection
What to get greater resolution now ?
If the xorg.conf edits don't succeed, do what it says (...Add your mode lines...). Run 'cvt 1920 1080' or 'gtf 1920 1080' and put the result in that section of that file, but when using this method hide xorg.conf before starting X. If neither set of config file changes works, upload the entire resulting Xorg.0.log files to web space, as well as your latest 50-monitor.conf and xorg.conf, and include links to them in your next reply.

Another thing you can try, since you have the nvidia driver, is to rename xorg.conf and then run nvidia-settings. That will tell you how the monitor is being seen by the driver and it will also write an xorg.conf file for you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The nvidia-settings has been tested many times, and gives only 1024x768 :-( /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have improved a bit. I have connected the monitor to the DVI on the graphics card via (DVI w/HDCP). I changed this so that the VGA from the monitor now is connected to the VGA connector on the graphics card. This gave options. There is not a 1920x1080 resolution. Max is 1792x1344. I tried this, but the monitor didn't liked that. Then I choosed 1600x1200, and this works. I thought it worked ok before with this resolution, but I was wrong. Now the resolution with direct VGA gives better performance. But I have an issue with saving the new set up. It's placed in /root. I tried to save it as .nvidia-settings-rc as is the default name. But I couldn't do it. looking at the content of /root, there now is a backup -rc- of the file, and what obviously has been saved even what I have said is exactly the same with ref to size and content. What name shall the settings file have, and how do I save it ?. I started up the nvidia-settings from a root terminal. I have made a screen dump that shows it here: http://www.urbakken.dk/nvidiasettings.jpeg /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

By the way, Eric, did you try just renaming your xorg.conf and running without one at all? I did a fresh install and I have no xorg.conf at all. -- _____________________________________ At one time I had a Real Sig.
