Re: [gentoo-user] Display displacement [Solved]
Thank you all, in the end xvidtune works. I roughly shifted and resized my screen and then all of a sudden it calibrats itself. Then i used the output of xvidtune in xorg.conf and now all works fine. Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have a 19"LCD too (native resolution 1280x1024), and during boot
(no FB) and working in console (no X) sreen output is shifted to
the right side too. During boot I can see only:
" Service XY starting ...[O "
(" K] " is apparently missing)
I have "adjust screen" button on LCD, but it does not work.
I wanted to fix it, bud finally I gave it up. It is not a big
problem, because it is a server. But if someone know how to
fix it, I'd like to hear it too... :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Display displacement
Thank you both, i think i understood what you mean, i will try to move and resize the screen ouput to the right size and position with xvidtune. Btw: i have a 19" LCD. But i am still wondering about that i maybe have mistaken something in my kernel-config. Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

For the crappy 19" monitor on my desk at work I have to shrink the image size to about 15" (at least 1" away from all edges) or the characters on the screen are unreadable. So yes, xvidtune can help if aligning or shrinking the image resolves the problem. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Could this also be fixed with xvidtune. possibly. Did you try the shorter / taller / wider / narrower buttons? Or the auto button? (I've never tried that one) btw, do you have an lcd or crt? If you have an lcd, the picture is fuzzy in places, because it's not the right size for your lcd, and its being "stretched", which makes a few pixels here and there in the picture get off place with the pixels of the monitor. (OK not a very good explanation, but this is how I understand it :) If you have a crt, then is it a focus issue? Is your crt dying? Is the refresh rate right? I'm kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

It is not just the displacement, as i mentionend before the picture is unsharp in some places too. Could this also be fixed with xvidtune. > The "auto" button is for an adustment on your monitor?

The "auto" button is for an adustment on your monitor? If so, then you can fix the X server displacement by creating a better modeline with xvidtune. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Display displacement
Thank you, @Ian i have the old 2.6.14-r5 kernel with nvidia 1.0-6629 in /boot and in grub.conf, this configuration works. But i don' think it is necessary to check this out, because as i mentioned before, i have the displacement with the old and the new nvidia-driver. So i think it is a framebuffer-problem. The only thing i can check is the new nvidia-driver with the old kernel, because the new kernel does not work with the old nvdia-driver, as you can see below. @All For the better understanding i will post the hole story together. I updated to kernel 2.6.15-r1, which results in the display displacement, splash-theme starting up late and nvidia-driver not working at all. According to the recommendations of this list i upgraded to kernel 2.6.15-r4 and nvidia 1.0-8178, it solved the splash and the nvidia problem, but the display displacement still remains. Now when i switch with CTRL-ALT-F1-6 through my consoles they are displaced. On CTRL-ALT-F7 where my X-Server runs the picture is fine. When i fix it in the consoles with the "Auto-Button" the X-Server on F7 is displaced. Is there something wrong with the console framebuffer? For updating to kernel 2.6.15-r1 i used my old kernel config After i have done make menuconfig it shows me this output .config:1317:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol FB_SOFT_CURSOR .config:1426:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol USB_BLUETOOTH_TTY Does the FB in FB_SOFT_CURSOR not mean FrameBuffer. Thank you for any recommendations! Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Do you have any working kernels/nvidia driver's still installed? Boot to one of them, reset your monitor, then boot to the current configuration (without resetting the monitor). Then see if its the framebuffer in the new kernel that is out of whack, or the new nvidia driver that is different. In either case, someone else with more knowledge about such things will have to help! -- Iain Buchanan I am not a politician and my other habits are also good. -- A.

Re: [gentoo-user] Display displacement
Hi, @Ian Xvidtune doesn't work for me, it is not only the displacement in all directions (mainly horizontally), additionally the picture is not sharp in some places. @All Isn't there another solution out there, i have updated my kernel many times before and it always works, i think there must be a problem with the new kernel. I don't think it is the nvidia driver because i have the displacement with v1.0-8178 and the old v1.0-6629. thank you -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There may be another way, but this is how I know to fix it: First, you should use the "auto" button to fix your consoles. That's the easiest. Then, log into X (with your display now shifted off screen), and run the command xvidtune. Read the warning (I've never had a problem). Then use the "left" and "right" buttons to align the picture exactly (take note of every pixel!). Once you're happy, press "show" a few times, then quit. Now it gets tricky! You have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Search for the word "modeline". If it's there already, then you probably have it easy: just take the output from "show" and put it in place of the modeline in xorg.conf (commenting out the original). Eg., xvidtune shows me: "1680x1050" 119.25 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1052 1058 1080 Now, in xorg.conf, I have the modeline: Section "Monitor" ... ... Modeline "1680x1050" 119.25 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1052 1058 1080 EndSection You must put it in the "monitor" section that you're actually using - first look at Section "ServerLayout" and find the Screen name (eg Identifier "Screen0"). Then find the monitor identifier: (Monitor "Monitor0"). Now look for the monitor Section with Identifier "Monitor0", and you've found where to put your modeline! The names in "" could be different for you, for example, you might have Identifier "Screen1" Monitor "17inLCD" or whatever.

[gentoo-user] Display displacement
Hello, i solved my problems concering the nvidia-driver and the splash-theme delay. Nvidia-driver works after upgrading to 1.0.8178-r3 and the splash-theme starts immediately after the boot message as i updated my kernel to 2.6.15.gentoo-r4. But one problem still remains, the display is displaced to the left in all my console windows on boot up, after i logged into my gnome-session the display fits perfect. When i use the button for automatically configuring the monitor on boot up, the console windows are looking fine, but when i log into gnome the display is displaced in the other direction. What can i do to fix this problem. Thank you in advance, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
