I got a new 20" dell 2001fp monitor which I can't use
in the default 1600x1200 at 60hz resolution. The video
card is nvidia fx5200. It works perfectly with win
xp.
If i put the following correct sync rate in the
monitor section of xorg.conf :
Section "Monitor"
HorizSync 75
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
ModelName "1600X1200 at 60HZ"
Option "DPMS"
VendorName "--> LCD"
VertRefresh 60
EndSection
then X won't start and comes with this error :
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable
configuration.
"Fatal server error:
no screens found "
Changing the the sync rate to "HorizSync 31-80"
launches X, but only in 1024x768 resolution.
Here's my Device section in xorg.conf
Section "Device"
BoardName "GeForce FX 5200"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Screen 0
VendorName "NVidia"
EndSection
The Xorg.0.log writes out :
"(II) NVIDIA(0): Mode "1600x1200" is larger than BIOS
programmed panel size of 1024 x 768. Removing."
Any help is greatly appreciated, I've been fiddling
with this for the last week. (I've tried adding
modelines, but nothing works).
I'm running Suse 9.2
thanks,
Orri
