OpenSUSE Hardware :: Cannot Access 1280x800 Resolution Even Though It's In Xorg (nVidia)

Feb 21, 2010

I am running 11.1 with an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card and I have configured the monitor and graphics card via "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia". My xorg shows all of the correct monitor settings and screen resolutions, yet when I go to the Display settings or nvidia-settings, it does not offer me any of the 16:10 aspect resolutions that are in the xorg.conf file.

Here is my xorg.conf:

# /.../
# SaX generated X11 config file

Fedora Hardware :: How To Get 1280x800 Resolution

Jun 4, 2011

In Windows Vista, I can use 1280x800 resolution. Fedora doesn't have this option in the display settings. The closest is 1280x960, but everything is stretched horizontally with this setting. Is there a way I can manually configure the screen resolution?

Fedora :: Change Console Resolution To 1280x800? (Using Fglrx)?

Mar 25, 2009

I'm using Fedora 10 x86_64 with an ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 video card. Before installing fglrx & compiz, the text console (while booting up) was shown at 1280x800 resolution (laptop widescreen). After installing fglrx & compiz the console would only show up as 640x480 resolution. My resolution in X starts as 1280x800 without any problem. I realize that you can use vga=xxx as a kernel argument but this only works with NON-widescreen resolutions. I require that it be set to a widescreen resolution like it was before the fglrx & compiz installation.

Ubuntu :: Nvidia Beta Driver: Resolution Cannot Be Saved In Xorg File

Jan 31, 2011

I am using 10.10 64bit with a Nvidia GeForce Graphic Card on my Acer 5741G 434 Notebook.

I have always used Compiz and without it I can barely use my Notebook. Apparently I had to install the Nvidia accelerated 3d Drivers (current version) in order to use Compiz.

However I cannot enable the "normal" visual effects (right click on desktop / change bakcground/ visual effects) that are necessary for using compiz.

Also everytime I reboot my resolution goes back to 800x600 although I saved the resolution to 1366. So everytime I start my Notebook I have to go to the Nvidia X server settings and set the resolution to 1366.

What I tried until now:

- I tried to reinstall Ubuntu twice!

- I tried to unistall all nvidia Drivers and install through the terminal using the command "sh" the nvidia drivers i downloaded from their website

- I tried to use the nouveau open source driver

Additional Information:

- when I boot a logo of the nvidia BETA driver appears

- for the past couple days I even experienced another problem: the windows do not have the minimize/close and maximize buttons

I am even willing to install the System again!

I had nothing but problems with the latest 10.10 ubuntu distribiution.

Ubuntu / Apple :: MacBook Managed To Get A Higher Screen Resolution Than 1280x800?

Apr 23, 2010

I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen any other complaints about their MacBook only going up to a resolution of 1280x800. Does anyone have a configuration for higher resolutions or have any insight into how it might be possible to obtain them? It works in Mac OS X, so it should certainly work in Linux.

OpenSUSE :: High CPU Load From XOrg And Gconfd-2 With Nvidia?

Jan 9, 2011

I just posted about this in this thread, but as the other thread was started by a KDE user then I thought I'd post here as well. I've had high CPU usage for a few months now - probably since trying the 0.9 branch of Compiz then dropping back to the default openSUSE builds (XOrg and gconfd-2 running a Core i5 at about 30% on every core*). I've now finally found a solution after deciding I wanted to fix it once and for all.

Once again, the Ubuntu forums come to the rescue with this thread (I don't like the distro as a whole, but I do find the forums useful!). I'm using Compiz, but it turns out that Metacity was running as well. A quick "killall -9 metacity" and the gconfd-2 process has vanished and XOrg settled down to its normal 1-2% (which is reasonable when I've got a Conky config refreshing every fraction of a second to repaint a sound visualiser!). Now I just need to find out why Metacity starts when I'm using Compiz...

* according to Conky's per-core graphs, although top only reported 15% overall and the Conky "top 3 procs by CPU" reported a measly 3% for each process, so someone's maths was out somewhere!

OpenSUSE Install :: Change /etc/X11/xorg.conf From NVidia To Nv To Get A X To Run In Xen?

Aug 29, 2011

I have the nVidia driver on my desktop kernel set-up but have to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf from nVidia to nv to get a X to run in Xen. Whilst this works, is there a way to tell Xen at boot time to use nv rather than nVidia so I don't have to edit xorg.conf each time?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.2 - IME Are 99% Related To Conflicts With An Existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf And NVIDIA

Feb 11, 2010

Lately I see a lot of posts/threads on NVIDIA cards and disfunctioning desktops. People rely on older posts and howto's, and run sax2 after driver install (either from repos or "hard way"). Symptoms also appear after updating 11.1 to 11.2 The problems IME are 99% related to conflicts with an existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which in 11.2 has become obsolete, though it will be read and used if it's (still) there.

On openSUSE 11.2 we have hardware autodetection and -configuration for everything. So no need for an xorg.conf to configure the X-server. on 11.2, follow this, if NVIDIA driver is installed correctly, but still no proper desktop experience:

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Nvidia Resolution On Suse 11.3?

Jul 17, 2010

I've tried installing Nvidia drivers on opensuse 11.3 (32 bit) for my graphics card which is a GeForce 250 GTS. Regardless of whether I do it 'the hard way' which I'm familiar with, or the Yareg repository way found on this forum I get the same behaviour

Best resolution I can get after installing Nvidia drivers is 640x480, if I rename xorg.conf in an attempt to force auto-detection I get 1024x768. I've tried everything I can find on nvidia drivers for 11.3 like adding nomodeset to the menu.lst grub entry, setting no_kms_in_initrd to yes, definitely installing under runlevel 3 etc

Same thing happens, I can run nvidia-settings ok which I think suggests the driver is installed and initialised, nothing I try will let me use better than 1024x768. Same machine with 11.2 installed handles 1680x1050 perfectly

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.2 Nvidia Video - Cannot Get Anything Besides 1024x768 Or 800x600 Resolution

Jan 16, 2010

I'm having a real fight with an Nvidia 6100 video under 11.2. I cannot get anything besides 1024x768 or 800x600 resolution with any technique besides doing an upgrade installation over an existing 11.1 system. I want 1440x900 for this wide screen LCD and that works with the upgrade install but that gets me into other problems with versions and other stuff - not a desireable choice.

OK. I know that the Nvidia driver (190.53) works as all is well under the upgrade. When I do a totally clean installation or a clean install with the existing /home I get a default 1024x768. If I use sax2 to try and change it one of two things happens: the change is ignored or I drop to 800x600 and the ball game is over: I'm stuck there, period. Other than a couple of commented-out lines, xorg.conf is the same as it was or 11.1 (and back to 10.1 after allowing for version changes) after running sax2 but even nvidia-settings won't give anything beyond 1024x768 if I try and use that.

I've been through the how-to stuff and back messages here but I'll be darned if I can force the desired 1440x900. I had a similar issue with 10.2 or so where the only way to get it right the first time was to set the desired resolution to 1440x900 during the hardware setup during the installation but that seems to have disappeared along with xorg.conf which only appears after running sax2. I can't even use the manual diting tricks in xorg.conf I've had to use with some cards - it seems to be completely ignored and I can't see any real problem with it anyway once sax2 builds it. On a couple of machines with later version of the Nvidia video everything is working as expected, at least with GF 6800 and higher video.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Which Nvidia Video Driver To Use And Push The Resolution?

Apr 19, 2010

New pooter, just installed SuSE 11.1. Would appreciate some insight into which Nvidia driver is right for my system, and what is the maximum resolution I can use without potentially causing any damage (if that's even a real concern).Here are the specifics.

[Code]...

So, now the questions.

a) Should I leave both sets of drivers installed, or should I delete one of them?

b) If delete, which should be taken off?

c) If neither of these drivers is the right one, which do you suggest I get instead?

d) I currently have the resolution set at 1920X1440. Is there any reason to worry that I might be overdriving anything and potentially causing damage to the system?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Screen Resolution With NVidia Proprietary Drivers?

OpenSUSE Install :: Low Boot Resolution With Proprietary Nvidia Drivers

Aug 26, 2011

I've recently jump from the Ubuntu/Mint ship, and figured I've give a polished KDE distribution a shot. Of course I turned to OpenSuSE, and I love it so far. I've resisted KDE quite a lot since 4.x came out but it's really come along. Much better than the (in my opinion) monstrous disaster that Gnome has become.

Anyways, on to my problem: I've installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers via the one-click-install shown in the wiki, and that worked great. But now my resolution at boot - that is the boot/loading screen, not my desktop - is shown at a very low resolution instead of my native resolution, like it was with OpenSuSE's default open-source Nvidia driver, which I'm guessing is Nouveau. On Ubuntu, this was pretty easy to correct; all you had to do was edit /etc/default/grub and put your resolution there, and tinker with some other options so that instead of Plymouth trying to set its own, it just carries over Grub's specified resolution. But I can't seem to do that with OpenSuSE. For one, I don't see /etc/default/grub, and more than that, I don't think you guys use Plymouth. I could be wrong on that second point, though. So, how can I change the boot screen's resolution to my native resolution? I'm using the latest Stable release (11.4) and latest Nvidia drivers. Other than that, the install is new.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: NVidia Drivers Do Not Support Correct Display Resolution

May 31, 2010

I am new to opensuse and have installed 11.2 KDE. It is simply perfect for my system. However after the initial setup the display resolution was set perfectly fine for my 18.5" LED monitor, default resolution was 1366x768, and everything looked good from desktop to fonts but the OSS drivers didn't support compositing so I decided to switch to nvidia drivers. I installed the driver as shown in openSUSE repositories page, for my 6600GT card. Now after rebooting everything is stretched,even the fonts look really ugly and fuzzy.

I am unable to find any mode in Nvidia XServer settings that would correct the current ugly stretched display. I am unable to set 1366x768 manually as well, doing so my PC won't boot to KDM but rather sticks to console. Now it's for sure that my monitor and display card supports 1366x768 resolution but it's just that nvidia drivers/Nvidia XServer settings won't let me set that resolution. How can I set the resolution or even better if I can enable compositing using OSS drivers then that would be great an dm willing to switch back.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Enable NVIDIA Drivers Without Root Access?

Sep 17, 2010

I want to enable the desktop effects (such as smooth minimising, smooth viewport switching, etc) but it says that "Desktop effects are not supported on your current hardware / configuration. Would you like to activate them anyway?"

My first question is how do I check to make sure whether the NVIDIA drivers are enabled or not? (I know they're on the system, since 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' is in the list of applications).

My second question is how do I activate these drivers?

Note that I don't have root access, since I'm using a university machine, so I can't edit the xorg.conf or anything like that.

Slackware :: Unable To Restore Xorg Resolution?

Aug 30, 2010

When the power twitches, and X is displayed on the current tty. the display resolution is somehow lost. When the system is rebooted and X restarted, the resolution displayed (and the best offered) is 800x600.My resolution of choice is 1280x1024, and none of the configuration files appear to have been changed.The X resolution is unaffected if another tty was displayed at the time. (I am often working on two or three consoles as well as what X is using)In the past it has been sufficient to comb through the file system and delete all the temporary files and caches that seem to be associated with X. I have never been sure if this was actually any sort of solution to begin with, but in any case it no longer seems to work.

Debian Configuration :: Xorg Affects Console Resolution?

Nov 2, 2010

I've been scouring the internet for an answer to this problem. I am using Squeeze and have properly configured Grub2 to set my console screen resolution to 1024x768x32 (as per updating /etc/default/grub to contain 'GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32' and updating /etc/grub.d/00_header to contain 'set gfxpayload=keep') and everything works wonderfully. My resolution is set as it should be. However upon installing Xorg (aptitude install xorg ratpoison), my console resolution gets changed to what appears to be 1280x1024.

I thought that this was due to xrandr, however when I issue:

# xrandr -s 1024x768

only the X resolution is changed. When I then CTRL-ALT-F1 back to the console, the resolution is still at 1280x1024 (I am aware that xrandr only affects X, but I assumed that because my console resolution was correct before installing X there might have been some correlation).

I would like for my console resolution to stay at 1024x768 as per Grub2's configuration and for X's resolution to be at 1280x1024.

PS I also noticed that prior to installing Xorg, my CPU boots up without any screen blanking (only for a second or so). However, after installing Xorg, during the boot process the screen does blank briefly. It is at that time that the resolution gets changed to the 1280x1024 setting.
