Re: [suse-autoinstall] Problem with Nvidia and Dell Display

13 Mar 2006


      This may also be a problem of the graphics driver. What does your 
Xorg.0.log say about display size? The nv driver will ignore 
your panel size specification if it thinks it is wrong. This may happen if 
the driver does not read the EDID information of the monitor correctly.
For me, using the closed-source driver from NVIDIA helped.

With an IBM graphic card we had an similar issue that with  DVI the
maximum resolution was lower then as with analog (VGA) So you might
check the handbook fom your Graphic card to insure that it really able

hi,
i have a problem with a few workstations over here. The workstations
have
Nvidia Quadro FX 540 graphix cards, and Dell 1905FP LCD Displays. I
setup
everything in my autoyast installation. Here is how:
16
    true
    kdm
    true
    <monitor>
      <display>
        <frequency config:type="integer">60</frequency>
        <height config:type="integer">1024</height>
        82
        62
        31
        58
        <width config:type="integer">1280</width>
      </display>
      1280X1024@60HZ
       --> LCD
     </monitor>
    <resolution>1280x1024</resolution>
    kde
  </x11>
If i use a Analog Cable VGA Cable everything works ok. The workstation
comes
up with 1280x1024, but if i use a Digital DVI Cable, it comes up with
1024x768. I can do what i want it doesnt work. Any suggestions or
tips?
