I've some ideas, see below. Especially the "ModeValidation" options. It should be enough. > The problem is that SAX cannot set resolution over 1280x1024 no matter what I > have tried.

You just cannot select modes your monitor cannot display, so if you explicitely select a larger one, it should be possible. Be sure to select a LCD one (reduced modes). > VX2025 is not listed in SAX hardware profiles, and unfortunately, SAX has a > bug and it cannot read driver CD neither from Combo neither from DVD-R I > have. I could copy vx2025.inf file, but I cannot find where. Hm. Sounds like a bug. Anyway, just select a standard monitor. > DisplaySize 430 270 > HorizSync 30-82 > Identifier "Monitor[0]" > ModelName "VIEWSONIC VX2025WM" > Option "DPMS" > VendorName "VSC" > VertRefresh 43-75 > UseModes "Modes[0]" That monitor description is good enough.

Some Monitors ly about their capabilities. If this works, please create a bug report so we can add the monitor to the database. If it doesn't, please create a bug report, it's probably more complicated. Maybe you even have to add "NoEdidModes" to this list. Maybe only one of these is enough. These options are explained in /usr/share/doc/packages/x11-video-nvidia/README.txt (or /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA/README.txt, depending on your installation method). > (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce FX 5500 at PCI:1:5:0: > (--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX2025wm (DFP-0) > (--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX2025wm (DFP-0): 135.0 MHz maximum pixel clock In that case you will need the reduced mode. You probably have to add it manually. Your card and/or monitor is not dual-link capable. For more information, you need to specify something like "-logverbose 9" to the X command line.
