Xorg.conf resolution error resolution wont set.

hello i seem to be having troubles with my xorg.conf file.

Im trying to set my resolution

which is

1680x1050

here is the link to the exact monitor im using

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SyncMaste … B0013PSOT0

here is a paste bin of my xorg.conf output

http://pastebin.ca/1587420

My graphics card is a

Nvidia Corperation NV28GL (Quadro 980 XGL) (rev a1)

I got that from lspci  |  grep VGA

thanks for the help appreciate it.

And i also ran Xorg -config and nvidia-xconfig

not sure why i did not fix anything.

Isnt the configuration supposed to preconfigure the monitor for you?

You really need to work on setting more informative titles in your posts....   Use the Edit link on the bottom right of your post.

That Q for the thread post was an accident. Sorry about that. I didnt even realize it said Q for the thread title, i put something in there and saved it and it must have changed it to Q for some reason. Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm....

(II) LoadModule: "nv"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nv
(II) UnloadModule: "nv"
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "vesa"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv.so
(II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.6.0, module version = 2.2.0
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0

It seems you are using the vesa driver.

Re: Xorg.conf resolution error resolution wont set.

That doesnt make any sense i have Nvidia installed. I even asked in another post on which to install

This one here
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81087

and also

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81082

And when i did nvidia the first install around everything worked?

Not sure what else to do.

Re: Xorg.conf resolution error resolution wont set.

Can you explicitly set the resolution?

SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1680x1050" 
EndSubSection

Re: Xorg.conf resolution error resolution wont set.

So you used # pacman -Sy nvidia-96xx not pacman -Sy nvidia for your card?  Once you have your xorg setup so it works the way you want it,you may want to consider adding nvidia-96xx  nvidia-utils xerver-xorg  to the IgnorePkg line in /etc/pacman.conf.  This way a future upgrade won't disturb those working settings.
