Hi,
I am having problems getting my framebuffer to work at 2560x1600 with my EVGA Nvidia Geforce 560 TI 448.
I used to have this uvesafb resolution with my ATI Cards for quite some time, so I cannot believe this won't work with a quite new Nvidia Graphics Card.
Code: |
fs1 ~ # dmesg | grep uvesafb
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/kernel-3.8.4-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 ro video=uvesafb:2560x1600-32,mtrr:3,ywrap

Does the Bios of the Card really not support my desired resolution? I mean not even 1920x1200 is there.
What am I doing wrong. Will another GPU Bios eventually solve my problem?
Thanks!

VESA only defines standard modes up to 1600x1200. If your video card doesn't support a specific resolution beyond that then there's nothing you can do. |

I never have to use the Nvidia framebuffer in the Linux kernel (CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA). So, I just mention that maybe you can have highers résolutions using it (if it work). _________________ Paul |

thanks for your answers.
I am just wondering because with ATI Cards I never had that problem. I am not talking about standard VESA but uvesafb.
Can anybody tell the me the settings I need for Nvidia? Maybe I messed something up when switching from ATI to Nvidia.
Thanks! |

Err, yeah...
There's nothing you can do. The resolutions in that list is what the graphic card provides. Vesa can't use anything but that. |

Effectively in the new kernels don't work $ cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes, but with # hwinfo --framebuffer if walking
Of course this is an ATI HD6670, not a nvidia.
Thanks for notice of this change, I used cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes in previous kernels.
