 Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2008 2:51 pm Post subject: problem with screen resolution after upgrade nvidia-drivers |
 |
|
hi,
i upgraded kernel from linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r6 to linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r1. i found that i have to upgrade nvidia-driver because the old nvidia-drivers-169.12 doesn't work. so i installed last version nvidia-drivers-177.80.
but there have started my problems. after started X i see only black screen. so i tried modify xorg.conf and i found out if i comment lines with HorizSync and VertRefresh so X run. but i can't have screen resolutiion 1280x1024 like before but only 1024x768. and i'm not capable of reach old resolution.
i tried set up HorizSync and VertRefresh according monitor's parameters but no success.
my monitor is Compaq p910

nothing help :/.
i tried all possibilities but without success. big success was resolution 1280x1024 but behind screen (i have to move with screen so i didn't see all desktop).
i tried generetion new xorg.conf (automatically and halfautomatically) but doesn't work too. i tried generation by nvidia-xconfig but the same result.
now i haven't any idea to fix it. i would like to upgrade kernel but i can't work with 1024x768 screen resolutin. |

It is possible that your nvidia-drivers and kernel 2.6.27 are incompatible. The nvidia-drivers-96.x.x don't even compile with kernel 2.6.27.
This happens on occasion, and I usually wait until it just works normally without needing to "change everything".  |

i update media-video/nvidia-settings and in i can see all possible resolution.
now i found out interesting thing. if i set up bigger resolution than 1280x1024 it works. it works if i set up smaller resolution than 1280x1024. and if i set up 1280x1024 i see only first raw on screen (i see mouse too if i move with) and the rest is blank (black). |

| Cool, the nvidia-settings is quite a nice little toy. I use it in my .xinitrc file nvidia-settings --load-config-only & |
