[opensuse] TFT monitor out of frequency problem
First of all, Happy New Year for everyone on the list. Second, my question: I have an 20" 1600x1200 resolution TFT monitor connected to my computer. I have openSUSE 11.2 and use nvidia binary driver, compiled from/by the nvidia binary installer (not the opensuse version). When I boot the system openSUSE boots nicely in console. The boot resolution is set to 1024x768 in 16 bit mode (by VGA= kernel boot option). X windows starts without problem as well in 1600x1200 24 bit mode. But when I try to change to terminal mode (ctrl+alt+F1) the monitor gives "out of frequency" message and does not display the terminal stuff. The question is why it is like that, and how I could fix it? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

try changing the VGA=### to VGA=0x31a or VGA=0x31b mine is set to 0x31a. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

mine is set to 0x31a.
Hi, Patrick: Mine is set to vga=791 (ie 0x317). My monitor has 4:3 side ratio, not 5:4. 0x31a or 0x31b sets 1280x1024 resolution, 5:4 ratio. Why do you think it would help? Nevertheless I will give a try when I get back to that machine. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, will not fit your screen. I am mixing up things. I previously used vga=731 w/4:3 20" monitor, but now 24.2", 1920x1200 which is 16:10 or 8:5. sorri -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
