Fedora Hardware :: Compaq W17Q Monitor - Correct Resolution Not Available
Feb 18, 2010
I have two displays: my main being an Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200), and my secondary being a Compaq W17q (1440x900). Previously all applications saw the secondary fine, being able to detect its name, native resolution, refresh rate, and so forth. But today, for no reason, after going into nvidia-settings the display is now being called "CRT-0" with only 4:3 resolutions available (1024x768 being the highest).
So now I'm stuck with the wrong resolution on my second monitor. All I can guess is that something more integral in Fedora is no longer able to read the EDID in it or something (I say integral as it's not just nvidia-settings, its everything, not to mention my install of Win 7 still reads the display A-OK)? Maybe I could just force the 1440x900 resolution? If so, how? Everything I've tried so far has either had no effect or resulted in glitch city.

I tested OpenSuse 11.4 as a guest OS via virtualbox on a win7 32bit host. Output to my 16:9 screen was perfect with a plentiful choice of high resolutions. Now with Suse (32 bit) properly installed as the host the only resolutions are 1024X768 and below and I am stuck with 4:3 ratio. My PC is an Intel Atom D945GCLF2 which has integral graphics. The monitor is the VGA input of a Samsung TV.

About three weeks ago I bought a new PC and installed Debian Squeeze. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 2494hs monitor connected to it. Until about an hour ago the monitor resolution was 1920x1080 and there were no problems. Anytime I clicked on system -> preferences -> monitors, the monitor preferences displayed the monitor name (Samsung whatever) as well as the resolution (1920x1080). An hour ago I did my normal daily upgrade via synaptic (synaptic -> mark all upgrades -> apply). When the upgrade were finished, the system indicated that a restart was required, so I restarted.
After the reboot, my monitor's resolution is set at 1152x864. System -> preferences -> monitors shows the monitor name as unknown and the max resolution available is 1360x768. Xrandr shows the max available resolution as 1360x1360, which is obviously wrong. According to discover I have an ATI graphics card. I've also run ddcprobebut that outputs about 15 lines and then stops with edidfail. I do not have an xorg.conf on my system or, if I do have one, it is not in /etc/X11.

Assuming this is the problem, does this mean I have to upgrade to Testing or install proprietary drivers?

I've just bought a new monitor - Viewsonic VA2213w and am trying to set it up with Lucid. The resolution required is 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. I have an NVidia GTS250 with the proprietary driver v195.36.24 installed. I can set the right resolution in the nvidia-settings app, but it will not survive a restart. X always reverts to 1024x768. I have manually edited xorg.conf now to try to force the mode. The GDM login screen displays at the correct resolution, but on logging in X changes the resolution. Xorg.0.log shows the resolution being correctly set to 1920x1080 initially, then right at the end for some reason it is reset to 1024x768.

I recently got a computer and installed the ubuntu 10.04 beta on it. I'm having issues getting my monitor to display at the correct resolution. It should be displaying at 1440x900, but the highest resolution I can select from the displays configuration panel is 1366x768, which is not even the correct aspect ratio.

This is the whole thing, in case it helps.
From what I have read, this is a brand new chipset with the GPU built into the main CPU, as if it were another CPU core. Is there a driver for this yet, or do I have to deal with an improper resolution?

I have some experience with Linux (mostly Ubuntu) but absolutely none with Fedora. In fact I have needed to re-install twice just to get to this stage. I now have a fully updated Fedora 14 Gnome desktop. I have (finally) got Nvidia graphics drivers up and running. I can open the Nvidia Settings screen and everything looks ok except that the desktop screen resolution doesn't seem correct. I have a Sony Vaio with default screen resolution of 1920x1200. In Nvidia settings it was set to AUTO, but I've changed that as root user to 1920x1200 with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and rebooted. My desktop looks quite good, but it's not 1920x1200 - maybe 1600x1200? Perhaps. How do I confirm the current resolution?
I have run
Code:
glx info | grep direct
and the output is
Code: direct rendering: Yes
GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,
Which I presume is ok?

When my notebook boots I get a high screen resolution. However, when I login it seems to go to a lower resolution that is not clear. I think this all started when I updated to a new kernel. So I reinstalled the nvida drivers using leigh's guide. However, I still can't seem to get it to display correctly.

I have a 22'' monitor. And I would like to set resolution to 1280*800. This is the resolution set in Windows in my computer in another disk partition. So I dont understand why I can't do the same in Fedora 13. The default resolution is 1680*1050, but everything looks too small. Other options I can choose are uselesnes because it distort everything.

I installed FC11 on my laptop T43 and the video card is ATI Mobility Radeon x300. Now I have a problem of screen resolution with external monitor:
When I do presentation, I have to mirror the two monitors and both set to 1024*768, which is not perfect.
I remember that when I use RHEL 5 desktop edition, The system can automatically detect the external monitor and set it by itself ----- The laptop uses 1400*1050 and the external monitors such as projector uses 1024*768. But I haven't found such feature on FC11.

It seems that whenever I boot my laptop (hp probook 6450b) without a monitor attached, then boot with a monitor later attached, the configuration gets all messed up.
Currently, if I boot with the monitor attached, right after the blue loading screen (at the login prompt) i get two black monitors and a mouse, with no login screen. Unplugging the monitor shows the login screen on the laptop.
If i boot without the monitor attached, log in, then plug it in, i see the following from xrandr:
Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2390 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 310mm x 174mm
1366x768 59.6*+
1024x768 60.0
[Code]....
However, now when I reboot, all settings are lost, and if the monitor is attached, i get the black screen with a mouse at login.
I did notice that when I shutdown, it hangs on "Running guests on default URI", and i get a stack trace. It will keep dumping stack traces, and i have to hold down the power button to force it off.

I am trying to install Fedora 11, but the monitor that I am using is only 640x480. When the window comes up to start the install, I cannot see any of the buttons or tabs for selecting the items. How can I adjust the resolution so that I can see the entire image in my screen?

I have a HPL2045W LCD monitor connected to my Fedora 14 PC through a Belkin KVM switch. On Fedora 12, the screen resolution (upto 1680x1050) was correctly recognised, but in Fedora 14, the best I can get is 1024x768. How do I correct this obvious error?My graphics card is an ATI Radeon RV2600 which has worked flawlessly for several years, until this version of Fedora.

I'm a new Fedora/Linux user and I've just setup my first laptop to use Fedora 14. However, I've come across an issue and I've done a lot of searching on various forums etc and basically I'm going around in circles. I've had my PC hang already after I tried to create a xorg.conf file. I have since removed the changes I made.
I have a a SIS 771/671 PCIE VIA Display Adapter (rev 10). I got this info via the lspci command. The problem I have is that it's not letting me select a resolution above 1024 * 768. I know it has higher resolutions as when it was a Windows XP and Vista PC I had higher resolutions. There has to be an easier way to set a screen resolution that manually editing cryptic files and knowing refresh rates etc.

I've installed (in fact, reinstalled) Fedora 14 64bit and I just can get the resolution that I need with my legacy monitor. It's a CRT Samsung SyncMaster 753DFX. The video card is an NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS and I've installed the driver with the guide found in this same forum [URL] with the akmod one.
My problem is that the same HW with Windows XP run resolutions (among others) of 1280x800 @ 85Hz and 1280x768 @ 75Hz, but in Fedora the nearest one I get is 1280x900 @ 60Hz and that 60Hz makes me dizzy after a few minutes. So, it's posible to get the same configuration in Fedora as I got in Windows XP? And if it's possible, how can a get it? My xorg.conf have this info:

Today my desktop reverted to 1024x768 resolution immediately after init. I tried changing it back but only 1024x768 and 800x600 are listed as supported in the display settings, even though my monitor supports resolutions of up to 1360x768. Rebooting the system did not solve the problem.I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64 on kernel 2.6.38.8-35 with the proprietary nvidia drivers of version 275.09.07. My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 933n. nvidia-settings is apparently not detecting it correctly, it thinks I'm using a CRT monitor.I was actually in this exact same situation a few months back, but it kind of went away on its own, so I didn't mind too much. So, what could be causing this, and what can I do?

I recently set up Kubuntu for my parents, and its working fine, other than the screen resolution. When I log in, it uses 800x600 when it should be using 1280x1024. I've tried to generate/ edit xorg.conf, but Kubuntu doesn't seem to pay attention to it. Also, I don't know if it matters, but it seems to be detecting a second screen that doesn't exist (see picture). That "monitor" can only go up to 800x600, but when I disabled it, it stayed off. When it was on and I pressed identify monitors, however, it put both labels on the main monitor. Here's the picture of the two monitors:

I have just installed Fedora 10 and all went well except that the resolution is set to 1024x768, which is not cool on a 22" HP w2207h LCD monitor. When I bring up Monitor Resolution Setting the Mirror Screens is checked and 1024x768 is the highest resolution. If I uncheck Mirror Screens and select "Laptop" I am able to select 1680x1050, but it now has my desktop in the upper left hand corner of my monitor. Should I be looking for a driver for my i845G graphics processor?
PS: I am new to using Linux please be patient with my ignorance.

OS: Fedora 12
Video card: ATI Radeon 9200 series
Monitor: ViewSonic 19"
I installed Fedora 12 configured Gnome automatically. Generally default settings. My monitor was connected directly to the video card and all was good. My video card was detected and my monitor was detected as ViewSonic Corporation 19" and I can set the screen resolution to 1280x1024. I had no xorg.conf file, as it seems that Fedora 12 does a great job of PnP to just set everything up.Now I go and complicate things by hooking up my monitor through a KVM switch. All of a sudden my monitor is "Unknown" and the best resolution I can achieve is 800x600.
Sure, I could go and reconnect without the KVM, but I want to be able use it.Is it possible to edit xorg.conf to tell it "Trust me, just use 1280x1024 at 60Hz even though you can't figure out what the monitor is"?
I tried a number of the posted suggestions to generate xorg.conf files but none of them get me what I need. A simple sample file listing that does the minimum is greatly appreciated (I can experiment from there once I get a basic setup working).And can someone explain if it is X or the ATI driver that is getting confused by the unknown monitor type. It helps to know what is actually going on in addition to a fix (so I can figure it out myself in the future). Thanks!

FINALLY got my personal server up and running again after my GPU's fan died. i rigged a new fan/heatsink on it but i can't seem to get the resolution correct. nvidia-settings (version 195.36.31) says 1280x960 but i have to pan around the entire desktop (like having a huge image zoomed in on a small screen).

I just got a DVI cable so I can have a dual monitor setup, (one VGA, one DVI monitor), and when the DVI cable is plugged into our 20" widescreen, the correct resolution (1680 x 1050), a "No Signal" error message will appear on the monitor. When the resolution is lower with the DVI cable, it will show up, but everything will be a bit bold and blurry. When I plug our VGA cable into the VGA slot in this monitor, everything shows up fine.

I recently built a new computer and moved over my old graphics card, a nVidia GTX 275. Everything appeared to work fine, it booted with no drama etc.
I use my computer for work and gaming, all my work, web browsing, chat etc happens on Debian. I play games on Windows 7.I did a fresh Debian install on this box and everything went smoothly until starting xdm for the first time, it wouldn't go to a higher resolution than 640x480. I'd already installed the proprietary nVidia drivers and they appeared to be working fine, just at the wrong resolution.

Yesterday memory was below 100. so which one is true and which one is lying? System now otherwise works fine. Quite fast actually even with more programs open.

I'm using two screens where one Is cheep Denver TV screen with DVD player. I have just install Jessie on my PC. Before i had Windows and there was no problems finding correct resolution for this screen. Now Jessie recognize it as Unknown and the maximum resolution I can set is 1024x768 what is way to small even for this screen. At Windows resolution was something over 1200px wide. The worst thing about it is that this resolution stretches the display really ugly. You may think I'm making big deal of nothing but for me it is actually a deal. I'm graphical designer and I need to see display as it is.

I installed ubuntu onto a desktop computer about a month ago. Everything was working well straight away, I had it outputted onto my TV (32 inch Hi Def Sharpe Aquos). The Graphics card is an NVidia Ge Force FX 5600. On installation and after a restart the computer detected the TV and actually gave the name of the TV in the settings automatically, in the system --> Administration Menu there is a programme that sets the resolution and settings for the NVidia card. This all sorted itself automatically and displayed in 1360 x 768 which was perfect on my TV. For some reason when I turned it on this morning it will only display in 640 x 480 or 320 x 240. xrandr only gives minimum of 320 x 240 and maximum as 640 x 480. How to rectify this?

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on an Intel D510MO motherboard as a low-end surfing computer. The monitor, a Viewsonic VA1926w, has a maximum resolution of 1440x900. However, the monitor preferences shows a maximum of 1024x768 only. How can I bring up the resolution to 1440x900? The screen seems sort of flattened because of the incorrect settings. I think the video card (built in) of the motherboard is an Intel 3150.
