Re: [suse-xfree86] Problem using a large flat screen monitor connected by DVI
Hello!
Thanks everybody who helped, the problem is solved now. I can fill the whole screen at least with a resolution of 1280x768 now, haven't tried hard to reach 1366x768 yet.
The problem was really the PanelSize given by the monitor, which is simply wrong, which can be overriden by the PanelSize-Parameter in the "Device" section. A "Modeline" must still be specified but can be calculated by appropriate tools.
Well, I still have the problem to reach the monitor's full resolution 1366x768. The PanelSize is now hard coded to 1366x768 and I have a "Modeline" that is working, and the monitor even displays that it is set to a 1366x768 PanelSize, so I guess the Modeline is okay. The monitor displays a screen without any flickering and that, unless I increase the horizontal screen size above 1320. All settings up to 1320x768 work, 1321x768 and everything above does not and I can't fix it by tuning the Modeline. The monitor simply says "out of range". I don't understand this, because the PanelSize *is* set to 1366x768 and the timings work, so to my understanding the graphics card always sends a 1366x768 screen to the monitor by DVI independently of the acutal resolution (and rescales it, if the card is set to another resolution). Am I misunderstanding something here? The modelines I am unsing at the moment are: Modeline "1366x768" 84.50 1366 1392 1712 1744 768 783 791 807 Modeline "1320x768" 84.50 1320 1392 1712 1744 768 783 791 807 If I make a 1321 out of the 1320, it breaks. If I use smaller arbitrary values, it still works. Any idea is appreciated, again. Thanks in advance.

Hello!
Well, I still have the problem to reach the monitor's full resolution 1366x768.
The problem is also solved now. The graphics card seems only to accept resolutions which are multiples of 8. 1366 is not, 1360 and 1368 are. If I use 1360, I have aliasing effects on the screen (can be seen with the X Window System background). If I use 1368, the monitor still recognizes a 1366x768 resolution, but without aliasing, so I think it cuts away the first and last pixel row. I think we can live with that.
