Nvidia resolution problem

2003-06-17 Thread Rik Scarborough
I cannot get the resolution for X above 800x600 (although I'm not sure,
it could be one smaller than that).  The main problem is I can't see all
the dialogs for KDE; they won't fit on the screen.

I've upgraded the box to FreeBSD 4.8 release.  I've uninstalled and
reinstalled XFree86 to the latest ports (the overall port is
XFree86-4.3.0,1).  I'm using the driver from the ports.

the Display section has the following modes:
1024x768 800x600 640x480

Any ideas on how to increase the resolution?

Thanks,

~Rik

Does your monitor support higher resolutions? If you have an old monitor,
did you put proper values in the monitor section of your XF86Config?

It's a new flat screen monitor.  I've pretty much ignored that, taking
the values from the setup and concentrated on the driver.  I'll take a
look at that.

Another thing, what do you have your default depth at? you should add the
resolutions you want to the default depth:


Section Screen
Identifier Screen0
Device Card0
MonitorMonitor0
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection Display
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection Display
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection Display
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection Display
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection Display
Depth 16
Modes 1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480
EndSubSection
SubSection Display
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
