From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: This is a Toshiba M-30 notebook with above card and 1280x768 screen (16:10). There seems to be no way to configure the screen with the standard modules, the nVidia module handles it without a hitch. Also, the text console is distorted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.7.0-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure X 2.No "1280x768" option, hacking the configuration file by hand as per Google only gives errors 3. Actual Results: 1024x768 configuration only, distorted screen Expected Results: Maximal configuration. Additional info:
1280x768 isn't a standardized video mode, so the X server probably isn't aware of it. You can configure it manually yourself if you like by using a video mode timing calculator such as the one at: http://xtiming.sf.net Note however that Red Hat does not support Nvidia's proprietary drivers. You can report the problem to X.Org in their bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org against the "xorg" component if you would like future X.Org releases to support this video mode automatically. I recommend submitting a pre-calculated modeline in your upstream report also which follows the VESA GTF spec, and it will likely get included in X.Org 6.8.0 which will be released in a few months. If you paste your freedesktop.org bug report URL here, we will track the upstream bug report for you, and consider including any changes they accept into X.Org.
My mistake, sorry. The screen is 1280x800, and works fine.
