Maximizing DVI Flatpanel resolution in nVidia nv

2004-11-25 Thread Antonino A. Daplas
Hi all, Looking at the xfree86 source of nv, it seems that the maximum resolution achieved when the input type is DDI is set by the BIOS (fpWidth/fpHeight). Is there a way to bypass this limitation such as a flatpanel display capable of 1600x1200, but only 1024x768 is achievable. IOW, what

The nv driver contains no code to program the DVI interface. The only reason why it works at all with DVI is because the BIOS setup the timings for the text mode. Subsequently, the nv driver is not able to run in any mode other than the one the BIOS setup. If the BIOS setup the text mode to
