Bug#438850: xserver-xorg-video-nv: Unable to use native DFP resolution
Hi, I looked into an old backup of my xorg.conf and found the reason why it was working on etch. I was using the proprietary nvidia driver and had the following line added manually to the device section: Option ModeValidation NoMaxPClkCheck, NoEdidMaxPClkCheck Using this line and the 'nvidia' driver the screen works properly on a fresh etch installation and a fresh install of lenny on the same machine. It also works with the free ati driver (when connected to an ATI card) on etch and lenny. On both releases the free 'nv' driver fails to set the correct resolution and shows the behavior reported in previously.

On both releases the free 'nv' driver fails to set the correct resolution and shows the behavior reported in previously. I just talked to upstream developers about this, they think it is very hard to fix. It is a firmware bug and that would require lots of work in the nv driver (and it's not going to happen). I am tagging this bug as wontfix unfortunately then. They also said that if you're using a DVI cable, you should try a VGA one instead. The way the card drives the monitor is very different. The too small panel size problem that prevents 1680x1050 from being accepted on DVI should not occur with VGA. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Even with the oldest driver the panel size is reported as 1280x1024 and the (listed) 1680x1050 mode is not considered, because it exceeds the screen size. The 'PanelSize' option also has no effect. I'm attaching the logfile for the oldest driver in your list. To me this looks like the problem might be somewhere else.

Bug#438850: xserver-xorg-video-nv: Unable to use native DFP resolution
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv Version: 1:2.1.3-1 Severity: normal I just upgraded from etch to lenny and my screen does not show its native resolution anymore. As you can see from the logfile dump below the native resolution of my screen is 1680x1050. This is confirmed by ddcprobe and xresprobe: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cache/apt$ sudo xresprobe nv id: SyncMaster res: 1680x1050 1280x1024 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 832x624 800x600 720x400 640x480 freq: 30-81 56-75 disptype: crt (although it is a dfp not a crt) However, the xserver always sets the resolution to 1280x1024 and complains about 1680x1050 exceeding the panel size. I also tried the proprietary nvidia driver and it seems to have the same problem. I also tested the current testing nv driver and the current unstable version. I tried with and without setting Option PanelSize 1680x1050 and with and without specifying a Modeline and with and without setting HVSync ranges. The whole setup worked perfectly at 1680x1050 on Debian etch.
