I can confirm this bug, a show-stopper for those affected. I have a Hyundai ImageQuest L70A TFT. Native resolution is 1280x1024.
In Dapper, the nv driver works (both with a Geforce4200Ti at first, then upgraded to a Geforce6600GT), but the nvidia 3D driver doesn't. You get a 1024x768 resolution. I tried hard to solve it with help in the forums, deactivating ESID and such, but nothing worked. One can live without 3D acceleration though. I did a clean install of Edgy with xorg 7.1, and it got worse. Limited to 1024x768 even using default nv driver (and already when booting from the live CD). Running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org didn't help in Dapper, and in Edgy it shows a completely screwed layout. I'm looking at the nvidia solution with modelines. But the exact VxH sync specs of my old L70A are hard to come by. I'll post if I find a solution. I just want to say that the nv driver should always work, so this is a show stopper for me. ** Description changed: whilst installing ubuntu 6.06 beta (april 20th version) my monitor goes on and off randomly. once installed the max resolution is set at 1024x768 even though it supports 1280x1024. when I reconfigure x (after updating system)and then restart x, the monitor issues a message stating 'video mode not supported.' this problem is not unique to ubuntu. + + The resolution limit also happens with a Hyundai L70A and Edgy, no other + image problems though. -- hyundai b71a monitor screen resolution and instability https://launchpad.net/bugs/40754 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
