In Feisty, with NVidia 9631 driver, the solution is different. Here is an extract of http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=79650&page=2 (I've attached the file, don't forget to put it in /etc/X11/ ). Note the 2 relevant lines are Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0" Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/nvnew.raw"
"I was having the same problems with my Dell c840 as reported by a lot of people in this forum (display corruption due to an incorrect EDID). After banging my head against the wall for two nights straight, I did some reading and created a new EDID file. I took the existing EDID from nvidia-settings and loaded it up in the phoenix EDID editor. Phoenix is a simple freeware Windows app, but it worked just fine in wine. It's not the most intuitive app around, but it got the job done. I used the nv-driver Modeline as the basis for my changes, exported as raw, and now x.org works perfectly. My Fedora Core 6 xorg.conf contains only two extra directives: Code: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0" Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/nvnew.raw" EndSection X.org 7.1 is sweeeeet. Anyway, I hope the attached EDID file can be of use." ** Attachment added: "nvnew.raw" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7386873/nvnew.raw -- Dell Inspiron 8200 Nvidia proprietary driver causes display errors (vertical lines on the right, and mirror effect on the bottom) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
