No native resolution of 1366x768 in gnome resolution manager..

frigger908 · 2010-06-08 05:06:00

I kinda have a problem..My computer's monitor is an acer monitor and its configured right in the xserver (Brand name and everything recognized) but in the gnome monitor manager it does not give me a resolution of 1366x768 which is my monitors native resolution, which leads to poor image quality on the monitor..can anyone tell me how to get 1366x768 as a resolution option?

Maybe your video card does not support this mode.

You can also try to see the output of xrandr on the console. This should give you the same output as the GUI tool. It will list all available modes.

Maybe also have a look at the log files /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there is a problem with your configuration.

Xrandr lists the same output and the log file is empty.

I use the opensource xf86-video-nv

but the closed source nvidia-96xx works to. - my graphics chipset is onboard and the name of it is the

Nvidia corporation NvCrush11 [GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics] (rev b1)

Help?

Set it manually in xorg.conf

Like:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes "1366x768"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

You may need to disable hotplugging to get this to work. I'm not sure since I always disable it.

Thanks. And I already have input hotplugging disabled as it would not work in my system.

I've tried that one guys option to fix it but i have like 7 "screen" sections and i chose that one that fit his thing the most (The one with depth 24) and added Modes "1366x768" and it still uses 1024x768

Sorry for the late reply - been busy, but no I don't use the closed source nvidia drivers I use the opensource NV driver. Any other ways to help me?

Maybe you need to make a modeline to force the resolution? I did something like that with my TV.

Here is a website that explains a bit about it, and also a calculator to actually calculate the modeline for you.

http://www.arachnoid.com/modelines/

The part I changed in my Xorg conf is

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
        Option  "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "True"
#       HorizSync    27.0-60.0
#       VertRefresh  60
        #ModeLine "720p" 114.47 1280 1312 1744 1776 720 733 743 757
        Modeline "1280x720@60" 73.78 1280 1312 1592 1624 720 735 742 757
        Modeline "1280x768@60" 79.75 1280 1312 1608 1640 768 783 791 807
        Modeline "1152x864@30" 36.95 1152 1184 1320 1352 864 883 888 908
EndSection

Hope this can help you on your way.

Or, if you don't want to edit your xorg.conf,
you can still add those modelines dynamically via "xrandr --addmode" and "xrandr --newmode"
