Lucid was updated to xorg 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.3 recently and I found a significant improvement over the previous version. However, that only means lucid is now as bad as karmic was on the SVGA interface, so don't get too pleased! (Presumably a regression bug was fixed.) (Also, the behaviour of the

Something really strange is going on... My SVGA Xlog shows: Display dimensions (510, 290) mm and DPI set to (101,100). The Dell specification says the display area is (509.95, 286.84) mm (confirmed by ruler to be more-or-less right). The Dell spec also gives the pixel pitch as 0.249 mm, which

I got hold of a DVI-D cable and tried it with nouveau, KMS enabled and NO xorg.conf (i.e. using the EDID). The screen came up perfectly at 2048x1...@60. I need to compare the drm kernel xorg log messages for the two best cases (VGA and DVI) to see whether I can find a significant difference. --

I really don't think this problem is related to the nouveau driver, because I get the same symptoms using the binary nVidia drivers. I have also connected the monitor to a system running Hardy LTS on the VIA chipset (X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 and CHROME driver). The EDID data looks the same and is

I went back to karmic to run gtf and cvt - they produced slightly different modelines, but I was more concerned about them selecting 197.97 mHz as the pixel clock rate when the Dell specification and the EDID modeline says 156.75. I ran cvt --reduced 2048 1152 60 and was astonished to see that it

This is very frustrating because my changes have not been reproducible because the monitor is too clever for its own good - it auto-adjusts the image and apparently remembers the optimal alignment for that particular resolution. I've discovered (the hard way) that I can only be sure my test

Thanks for your advice, Chris. I've been messing around with modelines, etc, whenever I've found a spare hour. I'm fairly sure the answer lies with the vertical frequency, but I'm new to this stuff and am on a steep learning curve. I've been concentrating on the Dell optimal mode, which is also

Well, that is a surprise! I thought this would be the best mode line because it had the same synch polarity as the specification: Modeline 2048x1152_60.00_h_plus 197.97 2048 2184 2408 2768 1152 1153 1156 1192 +HSync -Vsync ... but the vertical alignment is wrong - I lose at least one pixel

As this fails to work properly on either nouveau or nvidia there's no easy place to pick a fix from. It might be handy to know what the manufacturer's specifications on this monitor are; that might make it possible to spot where the modeline is wrong and provide a fixed one. I can hunt around

lucid beta uses KMS (kernel mode setting) and this is reported in the log. my karmic system is still using xorg for configuration. I think this means the problem is attributable to the monitor's EDID data, rather than the nvidia driver or the dynamic configuration logic. p.s. I do not have a
