Description of problem: Using a nVidia NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM) rev. a1] on an Intel DP965LT mainboard (version AAD41694-206) leads to unsupported video modes on an Acer AL1716 monitor. The issue is reproductible in Fedora Core 6 as well (both default packets and updated ones, as to 20070122). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.2.0-4.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL5 Beta 2 / FC6 on a system having a previously described hardware configuration; 2. reboot the system after install either in runlevel 5 or runlevel 3 and 'xinit' or 'startx'. Actual results: The monitor displays "Invalid input mode". Expected results: on screen image at the required resolution (1280x1024). Additional info: Output is OK in RHEL4-ES-U2; installing NVidia-provided drivers on RHEL5 Beta 2 / FC6 appears to solve the problem. I have also tried to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and define the vertical refresh freq. It appears to work, although the frequencies displayed by the monitor are quite different than the ones set up in xorg.conf (e.g. 60 Hz vert. / 64 kHz hor. despite having set Mode "1280x1024@75Hz" in xorg.conf).
Can you attach the X log from the failed startup please?
Created attachment 146506 [details] X log file when trying to use "nv" driver I tried again right now to start X using the included nv driver (the system is using the NVidia provided drivers right now). The reported behaviour statys the same.
