So I bought a wide-screen monitor, 1920x1200. I can't make my
combination of hardware and software drive the 16:10 aspect ratio.
Video card is Nvidia NV11 GeForce2 MX/MX400 in AGP slot. Has a single
analog VGA connector. Monitor can use either VGA or DVI.
Operating system is (still not upgraded) Fedora Core 3.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf uses "nv" driver. tt works reasonably well at
1600x1200 although the display is somewhat distorted. Icon of a CDrom
is definitely elliptical
Do I need newer software, or a newer video card? I realize that DVI
is the new thing.
I will try a Fedora 8 live CD as soon as I finish composing this message.
Have you created a custom mode line for the monitor? The EDID info in
the output log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) should give you some hints. I had
to do this for my laptop display.
In some cases you may have to tell the driver to ignore the EDID info
and force feed the monitor parameters to the Xorg driver.
