Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 166276
xorg fails to load resolutions > 640x480 under DVI with flat panel
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:19 EST
Description of problem: With an nVidia PCI video card using DVI output, I cannot achieve a resolution of over 640x480 on a Dell FP2405 (widescreen). Xorg.0.log has lines like: (II) NV(0): Mode "1920x1200" is larger than BIOS programmed panel size of 1024 x 768. Removing. (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1920x1200" (unknown reason) for every modeline with a resolution greater than 640x480 (!) I am using redhat's "nv" driver, not the proprietary nvidia driver. I am able to use these modelines with an analog VGA video card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.6 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install DVI video card, configure X to proper resolution 2. try to launch X 3. stare at ugly display in dismay Actual results: All pretty modelines were rejected, and the display was set at 640x480. Expected results: 1920x1200 goodness. Additional info:
