xorg screen resolution set to 1024X768 or lower

Created attachment 341158 [details] xorg startup log Description of problem: Cannot get screen resolution beyond 1024X768 on Fedora 10. This was not a problem until some updates went on. I do not know which update killed the ability to go beyond 1024X768. I have tried an ATI Radeon 4350 HD card as well as an nVidia GeForce 8400GS card with the same results. The monitor is a Westinhouse LCM-22w3 connected through a Belkin KVM Switch. I have tried connecting the monitor directly to the video card but the results are the same. Note: I found that with the nVidia proprietary driver I can get beyond 1024X768 screen resolution but it requires that I rebuild the drive every time the kernel changes. I have since re-installed Feroda 10 and the nVidia proprietary drivers are no longer installed. xorg.conf configurations, all product the same results 1024X768 1) no xorg.conf 2) monitor section only 3) device section using "nv" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel: 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64 Xorg: xorg-x11-server 1.5.3-15.fc10 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot Actual results: Display: Unknown Screen Resolution: 1024X768 Expected results: Display: LCM-22w3 Screen Resolution: up to 1600X1050 Additional info: xorg.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Westinghouse LCM-22w3" HorizSync 30.0 - 82.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 DisplaySize 1600 1050 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "nVidiaGeForce0" Driver "nv" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" <- tried with and without Option "FlatPanel" "On" <- tried with and without EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "nVidiaGeForce0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Modes "1680x1050" "1400x900" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
using the following in xorg.conf I was able to get to 1280X1024 but would like to get to 1440X900 or 1440X1050 Section "Device" Identifier "nVidiaGeForce0" Driver "vesa" endSection Also changes Modes in SubSection to SubSection "Display" Modes "1680x1050" "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection
Change xorg.conf to - Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Westinghouse LCM-22w3" HorizSync 30.0 - 82.0 VertRefresh 60 DisplaySize 1680 1050 EndSection got me to - [swampfox@swamplnx ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200 default connected 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1600x1200 61.0* 1280x1024 61.0 1024x768 61.0 800x600 61.0 640x480 60.0 But I'd still like to get to 1440X900 or 1050. There should be lots of resolution settings between 1024X768 and 1600X1200.
Can you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the NVIDIA binary driver, preferably with X started with "startx -- -logverbose 6". Thanks!
Created attachment 341309 [details] startx -- -logverbose 6 - with driver "nv" in xorg.conf Please note that the vesa driver only has a limited number of modes as well.
Created attachment 341310 [details] For contrast: startx -- -logverbose 6 - with driver "vesa" in xorg.conf Just to add some addition information that may be helpful I ran the startx -- -logverbose 6 with the vesa driver because it comes up with 1280X1024 and 1600X1200. I'd like to be able to set it to 1440X900 as I do on my windows machines. Both Windows XP and Windows 7 Beta are attached to the same KVM switch and have a resultion of 1440X900 using the same Westinhouse LCM-22w3 monitor.
Hello - has anyone looked at this issue. I put on the new release of fedora 11 and still have the same problem.The nvidia driver only gets to 1024X768 and the vesa driver only gets to 1280X1024. It appears the EDID is not picking up my monitor correctly. The monitor is a Westinghouse LCM-22w3.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
