Ubuntu Multimedia :: Nvidia Geforce3 Only Allows 640x480?

Oct 21, 2010

I have a fresh install of 10.04 lts I've followed the BinaryDriverHowto on the wiki. Which seemed to install everything ok.

The Nouveau had I believe 1024x768, now all I can seem to get with the proprietary driver is 640x480.

Is there a way to add resolutions to the xorg.config? I tried to use what the howto suggested, but I get video mode not found.

Here's what the Nvidia xorg.config looks like. Don't know if it will help.

Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Fri Apr 9 10:35:18 UTC 2010
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

Ubuntu Multimedia :: NVidia 8500GT Card Stuck In 640x480?

Jan 14, 2010

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on my HTPC, and it detected my TV (connected via DVI, so is a monitor effectively) OK, and displayed the proper resolution of 1360 x 768. I want to use the proper nVidia drivers which I've enabled using the restricted drivers tool in Ubuntu. On doing this, it has set the resolution to 640 x 480, and the nVidia configuration tool will not let me set it any higher.

1. The contents of xorg.conf are now irrelevant as of the last few versions of X?

2. The nVidia software is not reading the EDID information from my TV properly?

Ubuntu :: Resolution Won't Go Higher Than 640x480 With Nvidia Drivers?

May 24, 2010

I have a FX 5200 and a 26" TV with VGA input which supports 1330x760. No problem with this in Windows, but in Ubuntu, as soon as I install nvidia drivers (175) resolution goes 640x480.

I've tried editing xorg.conf in several different ways, but resolution didn't change, maybe I was doing it the wrong way.

PD: 10.04 Lucid Lynx fresh install

Debian :: Nvidia On Lenny Only Allows 640x480 Resolution

Apr 23, 2009

I've finally managed to get the nvidia driver on my Lenny box. However I've now found that I can't change resolution from 640x480, the nvidia panel shows this and 320x240 as the only resolution. The layout shows "hidden as under 600 pixels" If I go to gnome screen resolutions it only shows 640x480. If I plug a second monitor in it won't detect it.
I'm using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run, older versions appear not to work with Lenny crashing x on boot. How to change resolution on the nvidia in Lenny?

Ubuntu :: Nvidia 9600gt : Resolution Stuck On 640x480 With Proprietary Drivers

Oct 20, 2010

I have a BIG issue with my fresh Maverick install : when I install proprietary drivers via the graphic utility, either one proposed, the screen resolution is then max in 640x480. But I have hardware acceleration and compiz effects !

I tried, I think, everything. Forcing the resolution in xorg, in monitors.xml, try the newest ones via the ppa, install an older (and used to be working I'm positive) one with .run (which just prevent any graphic display).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Display Trapped In 640x480

Mar 20, 2010

Gents:

Running x64-U_8.04.1/EVGA_nv9400/Viewsonic 19" LCD

On a concurrent forum--INSTALL-- thread I've reported being "trapped" in a 640x480 screen resolution after changing graphics cards. It is very difficult/impossible to use screen GUI-function as displays overlap and do-NOT "traverse".

I have got installed the NVidia GUI tool which reports the proper card, screen display ( 1280x1040 ) and the current X-WIn setting ( 640x480 ).

A poster on <INSTALL> suggested use of the CLI command <xrandr> to fix screen display ... thus perhaps allowing full GUI function for changing X-WIN setting. Is use of <xrandr> the best-available method for me to get out of the 640x480 "trap"?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Resolution Stuck At 640X480 With No Other Options

Jun 14, 2010

I am a first time user and recently installed 9.10 from a LiveCd then immediately upgraded to 10.04 LTS. I had no black screen problem, but my resolution is stuck at 640x480 with no other options. I upgraded my driver to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.31 and the resolution remains the same. I have a Geforce GTS 250 and an Acer H233H capable of 1920x1080_75.

My XFile:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)

I have tried entering a CVT generated modeline to the xorg file but it did nothing.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Old Video Card, Nvidia XFX 7800GT Now Beginning To Fail - Which Way Is Best, ATI Or Nvidia?

May 3, 2010

I have an old video card, Nvidia XFX 7800GT, which is now beginning to fail and I need to upgrade. I am not huge a gamer but I do play/buy games on regular basis. Right now I'm playing Eternal Lands on the Linux side. Looking to spend $100-$150 on a new card.I have a Core2Duo Wolfdale 3.0, with 2ghz ram and run Lucid 32bit. Also run windows Vista64Ultimate on dual boot (rarely).

I would love to buy a new ATI 5770 or 5830, ATI budget cards seem to be much better for the buck over budget Nvidia cards, but I'm concerned with ATI drivers and long term with Ubuntu.On the Nvidia side I'm considering the GTS 250. The only advantage I can find is lower power consumption with Nvidia and Ubuntu has always preferred Nvidia over ATI, as far as working drivers go.As Far as Ubuntu and Lucid is concerned, which way is best, ATI or Nvidia? Has anything changed with ATI support, that could make theor cards more compatible now and in the future?

Ubuntu :: Resolution Cant Get Higher 640x480.

Jan 2, 2010

My Ubuntu can not go any higher then 640x480. I have found out what the problem is. The monitor has broken down (firmware or some thing) but still works fine in Windows. How do i know this ? Well a few mouths ago i was on Windows Me and one day it booted up saying that it is installing a default driver for the screen , so i let it do and after it did that it would never use the VA702 driver. Also the resolution could get higher then 1280x1024(this is the screens biggest res). A other mouth later i installed Windows XP and when using it i tried to install the VA702 driver but it did not work so i had to manually install it which worked but did not get correct resolutions e.g. could go higher than the monitor is meant to go. Now in Ubuntu can't go higher then 640x480. How can i fix this ?

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Can't Be Installed With Video 640x480?

Oct 21, 2010

I had the following problem when I installed ubuntu 10.10: - my video was only able to show 640x480 and the installation was a nightmare (I started more than 10 times until I was able to finish - because right-down buttons are not visible ...) If you need more details about my hardware let me know and I can run some software to collect data about my hardware if is necessary. Basically I have a dual monitor system (one lower resolution and one with higher resolution). A nice fix will be (if possible) to not clone automatically the screen on both screens -> and to give me the option to choose the video settings (before starting the installation - and this screen to have always 640x480 ...)

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Keeps Reverting To 640X480

Feb 10, 2010

I am test driving Ubuntu 9.04 (Desktop) - the screen resolution always pops up as 800 x 600 - Preference Display tells me there is a different graphics driver (which I have installed) and set to 1280 X 800 which then works till I re-boot. I changed it in NVIDIA X Server Settings. When I try to save to X configuration I get a message "Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'." - which I presume is because I am not in superuser mode - how do I set up a superuser account (is this even possible?) or is there a nioce simple way for a real newbie to fix this?

Ubuntu :: Monitor Not Detected - 640x480 At Startup?

Jul 11, 2010

My Ubuntu server box, has a Iiyama prolite LCD, 22", 1680x1050, that had not problem at all since... I can remember. Since yesterday, after a restart, xserver started in 640x480, with only 320x240 as alternative.

I have latest nVidia drivers installed, and the main difference with last week, is that now, Display Configuration says CRT-1, unknown instead of Iiyama.

I've tried.

1. Uninstall xserver and reinstall.
2. dpkg reconfigure
3. Uninstall nVidia and come back to original Nouveau.

Debian Multimedia :: "Unable To Load Nvidia.ko" When Running NVIDIA*.run?

Feb 20, 2011

I am running Debian Squeeze with 2.6.32-5 amd64 kernel with GCC 4.3.5 (the same one used to build the kernel) installed. I have a nVidia GTX 470. I'm trying to install the latest nVidia drivers (260. ...). I've never installed noveau or any other open source nVidia driver. Here's what I've been doing:-Change the "Driver "nvidia"" line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "Driver "vesa""-Restart system in single user mode as root, no services running-cd to the directory with nvidia-Linux-x86_64-... .run (what I'll call nvidia.run)-enter "sh nvidia.run --uninstall"-enter "CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.3" && sh nvidia.run"It starts up and it compiles the kernel 100%. Then it says this:

ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'.  This happens most
frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or
improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs

Fedora :: Cannot Change Resolution To Above 640x480

Aug 12, 2009

I am running fedora 11 live cd on a work computer waiting on a new harddrive. Ran knoppix and Gos 3.1 fine. they start at 800x600 but can relatively easily be changed to much better but fedora likes this really low resolution on the monitor 640x480. In Gos I unhide screens and graphics and change it there but fedora doesn't seem to have this basic setting utility. Where is it in fedora or its equivilant. The basic monitor setting only offers the 1 option and even this box is not fully visible, ok and cancel are cut off at the bottom. Going back to Gos for now, though someone managed to crash it while surfing the net. mATX Via chipset p4m800 s3 unichrome graphics. linux loads vesa drivers instead of s3 unichrome drivers.

Hardware :: 640x480 Resolution With Radeon And KMS

Aug 25, 2010

I have on old Thinkpad T42 with the Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chip. It used to work like a charm with the open source radeon driver, until KMS came along. It had no problems except for fullscreen being always black. I thought this is because I have an old card, and used 'nomodeset' in the kernel line, which strangely cranked up the memory usage and made the system choppier, but I managed. Today I was testing the use of an external monitor at home, and found out not only that it only works properly with KMS enabled, but fullscreen games work like a charm (e.g. DOSBox, which I use a lot).

After experimenting a bit, I found out that on the internal display (LCD), 640x480 produces a black screen, while others work as expected. so i set dosbox to use 800x600 as the fullscreen resolution, and it works. The problem is that there are a lot of games (and apps) that I use which provide no configuration options to set the resolution, so I end up with a black screen (when I'm using the internal display, of course). Bottom line: I'm not asking for anyone to fix my problems from a distance, basically blindfolded.

Ubuntu Servers :: System Hangs When Get Higher Resolution Than 640x480?

I have just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04. With Version 8.04 I had no problem to change the resolution from 640x480 to 1440x900 (console, no GUI installed). With 10.04, it does not work, the only resolution that works is 640x480. I have tried the following:

Changed: GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900
Result: Success, Grub comes up with 1440x900, but when booting, the resolution changes to 640x480
Changed: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1440x900
Result: Booting -> blank screen > automatic reboot
Changed: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Debian :: Just Installed Lenny - Only Resolution 640x480

Jan 10, 2011

Just upgraded from Etch and now I'm stuck at 640x480 resolution. Xorg.conf doesn't show any display modes, and xrandr gives the only resolution as 640x480. The laptop is a Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT. I know its a doorstop, but 800x600 worked fine under Etch. Anyone know how to to change it back? It's really hard to look at right now.

Slackware :: Stuck With 640x480 Screen Resolution

Sep 7, 2010

I made a total reinstall of Slack 13.1 the other day and all went seemingly well. After a lot of experimenting and deciding I wanted the disk partitioned differently, a reinstall felt about right. But when I started X the resolution was all too low. xorg.conf was adjusted with the properties of my screen (GDM 4011P). Once upon a time, the Xorg config-tool would ask me my opinion, but now it flashes by and I have to live with what it comes up with.

The nVidia driver was installed (legacy for GeForce 3). I know the config is read, because it fails parsing if I have kHz with the sync-figures. But it otherwise disregard my wish to run at 1280x1024. In XFCE I can run the nVidia configuration tool, but it offers only auto, 320x240 or 640x480. The screen is too small for me to click "ok" on several occasions. The machine is capable of 64bit, 2GHz. But I installed the 32bit version of 13.1, it has 1,5GB RAM.

Debian Hardware :: Need To Force Kernel Framebuffer To 640x480

Jan 20, 2015

Some weeks ago i hacked a old NCR all in one computer and installed modern hardware inside it, also installed and old VGA 13" B/W monitor inside (supports 800x600 max)

Then installed debian 7 i386 the installer runs fine, the problem is that after finishing the installation the monitor goes out of sync, the kernel load the i915 module and go out of sync.

So I have to connect another modern monitor and blacklist the i915 module, then get back to the internal VGA monitor.now the system boot fine to the linux console on text mode.

I plan to use this system from text mode (no x windows), the problem i found is that because i blacklisted the i915 module i don't have a /dev/fb0 so the console software i like to run like dosbox or scummvm canno't start because the framebuffer is missing.

What i need is to find a way to force the i915 module to a low resolution (640x480). This is what i tried.

vga=ask (or other options) this option is completele ignored by the kernel seem to by deprecated
passing grub options to the i915 module like video=VGA-1:1280x800 or modeset=1 also are ignored.

Theres some way to do this ?
