I tried installing manually the 169.04, 169.07, 169.09 and 171.06 versions. The problem is still the same: it just can't read EDID and then falls back to the ugly 640x480 resolution.
I also tried forcing the resolution with a modeline as recommended here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_AL2216W But it was even worst, the refresh rates are completely messing up the display (the resolution is still something like 640x480, but it's also horizontally shifted). It seems like it's not the nvidia driver, but more the last xorg update that has broken the EDID module. (Maybe it's my monitor or my graphic card that is broken, but I hardly believe that only the EDID module would crash if there was a hardware problem, in any case, if someone has an Acer AL2216W monitor running on the last Ubuntu 8.04 beta, please say it here!) ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log -- log with the 171.06 nvidia driver" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12826132/Xorg.0.log -- [Hardy] Screen detection problems with xorg, nvidia and an Acer AL2216W https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
