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. Why do you expect a native 1920x1080 device to work at 1900x1024?
I was not quite sure what resolution the 19xxXyyyy was, so that was a guess only.
I have here what I get from running startx: ... Parse error on line 91 of section Monitor in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf This section must have an Identifier line. (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file ...
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.
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.
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:
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I'm pretty sure most or all the above is obsolete for your video card in 11.3, but if it isn't, you certainly don't want your preferred mode omitted, so change the Modes line above to the following, which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.
