I have an HP TFT monitor with 1600x1200 native resolution. This works perfectly in graphics mode with its native resolution. I have nvidia card and proprietary nvidia driver. But when I switch to terminal window (eg ctrl+alt+1) my monitor gives the following message: "Input signal out of range Optimum mode 1600x1200 / 60 Hz"
IIRC, the NVidia blob driver isn't supposed to affect framebuffer modes used on the ttys, but maybe it is anyway if it's newer than 11.2 and designed for KMS kernels (>2.6.33 or so).
After a few seconds the monitor turns out automatically.
How the output frequency and resolution of the terminal view can be adjusted/set in openuse (11.2)?
Are you using a stock kernel? KMS kernels in 11.3+ accept video=HxW@rate to override whatever KMS is able to get from monitor EDID. Previously, (e.g. 11.2) I don't know if there is a way to force refresh, but simply picking some framebuffer mode other than whatever it's defaulting to or already specified may be all you need. Try on cmdline vga=791, vga=0x31a or similar until you get one that works. The Framebuffer HOWTO lists possible values for vga= and the modes that result. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
