My AOC TFT22W90PS1 LED screen is 1920x1080 resolution. That' ok. but not all resolutions in nvidia-settings can work and show a black screen(not support). the most important is 800x600, many games need and use it as default. I do not want install those driver named xxx.run. so how can i get it works. nvidia-settings version is:

I just installed 9.10 and the only options for resolutions is 800x600 and lower on my Samsung 22". I would like to have the resolution at 1600x900. My graphics card is NVIDIA 6150.

aplay -Dplughw:0,7 track06.mp3
However, I get no sound from normal applications (Totem, Rhythmbox, flash, etc). It's also worth noting that I can get sound from plughw:0,7, plughw:0,8 and plughw:0,9, but if I use plughw:0,3 there's no sound. I checked in alsamixer and all four channels are unmuted. I followed the instructions on this guide to get this far.

I either need kernel 2.6.34 with the snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi module or alsa 1.0.23. I once had this setup working in ubuntu via a alsa upgrade script, but any audio would cause xorg cpu utilization to sky rocket and the system to crawl...hopefully i can work through this eventually in debian.
How should i go about getting this to work? go to the newer kernel or newer version of alsa? how should i go about installing the newer version of alsa? also i am somewhat confused about the current alsa packages that are listed on packages.debian.org. it appears that testing should already have 1.0.23? so why do i have 1.0.21?

I recently upgraded to Lucid from Karmic and shortly before the release upgraded from a geforce 8400gs to my geforce GT240 and noticed no difference on Karmic. I read somewhere that the capability of video cards would be applied further with Lucid. Since installing Lucid I've noticed a severely reduced sharpness and severely increased contrast, changing the contrast in X server has no effect. My hardware driver is activated but not in use and no online fix I've attempted has been successful in resolving the issue. Is it possible to use a gt240 on lucid with no hassle and is there any way I can maximize my video cards capabilities?

Finally, i decided that i don't want to spend my time on this anymore and thought that maybe it's a sign i should try other distros (even though theoretically Linux is Linux is Linux), and Debian has always been appealing to me.
So my question is, has anybody had any experience (or issues) running Debian on the hardware mentioned above? I'm actually contemplating Ubuntu already, because there's a chance it will spare me some time and configure everything by itself, but the pride of a person who used to configure Linux from scratch doesn't let me switch to Ubuntu yet

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on an HP laptop with an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GMC Graphics controller. I have a 2nd monitor attached to the VGA port (HP f1703). The problem is that the two screens have different resolutions. the laptop is 1280 x 768 and the other monitor is 1280 x 1024. The xorg.conf file that was created with Xorg -config set both monitors up with 1280 x 1024 resolution so my screen on the laptop looks all "squashed". I have tried to reconfigure it using the Display Preferences dialog but after i re-boot, both screens are unviewable and I have to restore my previous xorg.conf file. I went through the HOWTO: Jaunty Intel Graphics Performance Guide procedure to setup a "safe" configuration but didn't work and I had to restore my "good' xorg.conf file. What do I need to do to setup my two screens with the correct resolutions: 1280 x 768 and 1280 x 1024?

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer. The default display driver supplied with it only allowed the screen's default resolution (1280x1024), so I downloaded and installed nVidia's latest driver (260). When I change the resolution to anything lower than the default, the graphics (and most notably letters) everywhere appear slightly blurry, becoming more and more blurry as I lower the resolution. The blur is not terrible, I can still use it but it becomes annoying to watch after a while. I am using a GT240 graphics card, and this problem does not exist on Windows using the same resolution and same driver version.

I reviewed the same file on another machine, which is not in a Virtual issue, but the file only provied very generic entries, and did not have any detialed information that resembled 1280x1024 or 32 bit.

Linux Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), Nvidia g-force 5200, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz(old PC but i need learn Linux inside out b4 I go 100% Linux)But I have taken the time to the learn the basic cmds like man mv cp apt-get install etc. I cisco engineer but I want to get good with Linux distro's.I have a NVIDIA G-FORCE 5200 which according to NVIDIA'S website the 173.14.x.x driver is the correct one.I have tried diver 173.14xx. I installed it manually and restarted x server.
I have read the installation guides on this forum but to no avail.When I reboot Compiz cube features are working BUT my screen goes 640x350.I tried to edit the /etc/X11/ xorg. conf file but I cant see any screen resolutions lines. I tried changing NV to nvidia and visa versa. Still the screen is buggered.I installed compiz checker and ran it it said all ok. My text goes large the colours are jittery ? When I go to NVIDIA XSERVER SETTINGS i can not change the screen res ? It just stops from selecting the options? I also tried driver 185.18xx and the same results.I also tried installing the drivers with Envy NG and still no better.I now have installed 96.43.13 NVIDIA driver and my screen has went back to normal but I can not enable the cube effects. I take this means it has reverted back to the graphics card on the motherboard? I have also looked at xrandr -s <1014x768> cmd to manually change it and again no avail.
I lost the higher resolutions for my computer. The highest available is 1360x768 (which doesn't work well) and currently I'm using 1024x768. Before, I had 1280x1024 working well and I even had higher resolutions available in nvidia-settings. I've ubuntu 9.10 with nvidia drivers (185.18.36).
I've read [URL].. but not necessarily all of it or understood all of it. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and the xrandr stuff but nothing has changed, except what xrandr reports, regarding the addition of two modelines 1280x1024. In the end, I suppose something has corrupted some file but how can I figure it out?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a collection of *.mkv files which are 720 HD resolution (1920x720). I'd like to watch them on my netbook, but it can't handle HD content. The videos play fine on any decently-powerful desktop, under either Windows XP/7 or Ubuntu, but they are simply too much for the Atom CPU of the netbook.Is there a way to downconvert the .mkv files to something the netbook can handle? It doesn't have any problem with standard DVD content, which is of course lower resolution. Cutting HD content down to the netbook's native resolution(1024x600) would probably be sufficient.
A free software package available in the repositories would be great, but I have no problem manually installing something if necessary. I have not done any work with converting videos to different formats, so I don't know what's out there for Ubuntu.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI generally suspend between work sessions. Occasionally, after a long time of running, my display goes black and is unresponsive. This seems to happen when I have fallen asleep while working. Now, I don't think someone has sneaked in and done something to my computer! Anyway, all the applications are still running (observed by bringing up the console, top/ps) but the X session does not respond. I have tried the Control-Alt-Backspace keystroke that is suggested for restarting X Window.
Over several times, I have experimented with killing specific processes from the console to see if I could restore life to the session, without having to shutdown. Today I noted that if I blast the compiz process it did come back. Of course, there may well be a specific combination of steps I did before that step that resulted in it working.
I have two monitors of different resolutions. Under settings->display the settings for my monitor look like this: [URL]. Ultimately what I want is to set up this kind of configuration: [URL]. But whenever I do, it doesn't work out. When I up after setting the above settings, my configuration ends up like this: [URL]. Any attempt to change the resolution or to change the display type to anything other then clone is simply ignored. If I disable the second monitor I can set my first to the proper resolution. If I try to set the settings to what I want they will stick but the second monitor doesn't actually turn on, and if i try to drag windows that direction it acts like a single display.
I have tried using the ATI control panel to adjust my display, but there seems to be a problem entering it as an administrator.I can load the CCC just fine as a regular user, but when I try as an admin a terminal pops up, I type in my password, and nothing happens. I want to avoid trying to reinstall my display drivers or do anything drastic. In previous versions of linux I would just nano the Xorg.conf file and be done with it, but it seems ubuntu 10.04 LTS doesn't use Xorg, or at least not a Xorg.conf I am used to. I want to set the monitors at their native res and as independent displays, similar to what twin view did for me not to long ago.

I just got a new vVidia card for its HDMI capability for my mediacenter and installed the nvidia drivers suggested by the hardware managers.
Right now im connected to a VGA input on a sharp TV, this card/driver like my previous embedded intel card/driver can't make heads or tails of this TV. Intel called it "unknown' nvidia thinks its a CRT (/laugh at a 42'' CRT) so the resolutions it sticks me with are laughable.
Before i used to use xrandr to add a 1600x1400 resolution (though my goal is 1960x1080, full 1080p, i just cant run that through a VGA input) and all was... acceptable.
Now i can no longer do this, since nvidai drivers seem to dominate my attempts. I have gathered i should be able to alter my xorg.conf (which i used to not have, this machine started at 9.10 which is trying to get away from that file) to support som additional resolutions. But i swear i am all thumbs when it comes to touching that file... it always ends with a command line crawl to revert to my backup
SO, anyone know what needs to be altered with this file OR any other method i might try?

I just upgraded to an ASUS MS227 on a Ubuntu 9.10 box with a "NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)" video card. Here's the problem, the only two resolutions it will work in is either 1900x1200 OR 1440x900. Anything in between shoves the display about 5 inches to the left, so far over that it's not correctable by the monitors own horizontal control.
This is my xorg.conf:

This is 10.04 LTS 64-bit. I took all the modern stuff out of the computer, so I should be cool to make the system displays work right with just a single nv 9800gt adapter and just two displays a Viewsonic 1920x1080 and a samsung 2048x1152.
When I first installed, both monitors had the right resolution but the wrong monitor was primary. That appears to be extremely difficult to solve, with none of the options I found working for me, so I just swapped the cables.
After that change, the proper monitor is primary, but the other monitor is now stuck at 640x480. I googled and binged and slapped and blew and sucked and none of the magic lines to put into my xorg.conf have worked - in fact, I'm finding the best solution might be to put together some command lines with xrandr (which only sees one display FWIW) that do what I want, and then run those each time I start up the OS. I'm willing. I can type fast and I have a good memory.
I THINK I'm looking for the magic line I put into my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get that display rotated 90 degrees. If CW is harder than CCW, I'll re-mount the display if needed. I can be flexible. A higher resolution would be GREAT as well, but I came into the world at 80x24, I can leave it the same way - thing is, seems like soemtimes, if the moons are aligned, I don't need it at all?
If the real solution is to re-install, that's fine, but I'm going to be back here again, with much more cynicism when I buy a new monitor.
