Hello,
I've just installed Gentoo on a box I just bought. I've got a sun 24" widescreen CRT monitor which I prefer to run at 1920x1080 75Hz. This resolution works under windowsXP just fine.
In my XF86config-4 I tried just specifying the 1920x1080 mode, which didn't work. X complains that it's not a valid mode for the monitor and uses 1920x1440 60Hz instead, I guess it like 4x3 aspect ratios heh.
I then looked around to try and get the data to generate a custom modeline. I created this:
| Code: | | ModeLine "1920x1080" 217.83 1920 1976 2200 2584 1080 1084 1088 1124 -hsync -vsync |
But when i startx my desktop has about 100 lines of virtual screen size... Here's an excerpt from my /var/log/XFree86.0.log :
| Code: | (**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "1920x1080": 217.8 MHz, 84.3 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "1600x1200": 202.5 MHz, 93.8 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1200 |
Any suggestions on how I can get X to properly display the 1920x1080 resolution without the virtual screen stuff?
Thanks!

I'm just guessing here but:
Try making sure that the resolution you want is the first one specified. |

I removed the second mode option of "1600x1200" and now the resolution works correctly. it was:
| Code: | | Modes "1920x1080" "1600x1200" |
and now it's
This doesn't make sense as the change that fixed my problem, but now it works heh. I think that I must have fiddled with some numbers in my XF86config-4 and just forgot about it. anyway.. thanks =)
