 |
|
I found the magic line that makes the Nvidia module play nice with my monitor. I simply added the marked line to the "Device" section:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "True"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "ModeValidation" "NoXServerModes" <-- the magic line
EndSection
upon starting X, xrandr shows only the modes I |
care about, and WINE happily switches to the proper mode my monitor handles.

I've been wrestling for a few days now, and cannot find a suitable solution. The problem is that nvidia-auto-select is choosing a mode that my monitor doesn't like (on the fly, when running an App such as WINE). I can reproduce the error in nvidia-settings and choosing 800x600@auto.
How do I make sure Nvidia uses the proper mode when in 800x600 for my monitor - it seems the auto selection is not smart enough to know what's going on. Can the 800x600 Hz rate that doesn't work be blacklisted?
I am not going to use xrandr in a shell script to set the mode correctly because the application switches between different resolutions when running.
It's basically running Diablo2 + WINE in full screen. Works fine if i set a virtual desktop and play, but it's not ideal.
Here's my xorg.conf generated by nvidia-xconfig:

Identifier "X.org Configured"

InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
