here is the screen section of my xorg.conf that displays on a widescreen st monitor just fine.
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" Option "TVOutFormat" "Composite" Option "TVStandard" "HD480i" Option "TVOverScan" "0.7" Option "UseEvents" "True" Option "Coolbits" "1" Option "NoLogo" "True" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "720x480" EndSubSection EndSection Brad Fuller writes: > > On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 7:24 AM, Brad Fuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> What does: >> >> Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0" >> >> do? >> > > Finally found it.:From nvidia readme: > > === > You can request a special mode by name in the X config file, named > "nvidia-auto-select".
