I'm trying to get UXGA working on my Dell Inspiron 4100. It seems like EDID is reporting the wrong information on my screen. I have a couple of questions:
Does the "nv" driver support G2Go at all? If not, would it be possible for me to add? I'm on the XF86 developer list, but I have yet to actually contribute any code. Since "nv" isn't working, I'm using the NVidia drivers. I can get a working screen at 1400x1050, but a strip about 256 pixels high at the bottom of the screen is a duplicate of the top and there is a black column about 200 pixels wide at the right of the screen. Otherwise it works okay. I've noticed that EDID is reporting incorrect width and height for my screen (see the attached log file). Is the EDID information "interpreted" by the nvidia driver? I'm curious if this is a bug in the NVidia drivers or elsewhere. I've tried disabling EDID using the NVidia "IgnoreEDID" option, which allows me to generate a screenful of garbage at 1600x1200. I'm guessing that the NVidia driver is not working due to the incorrect EDID info. I'm also not sure how to get tech specs on my screen, since I can't find them at Dell. Do these specs really matter, or should the default 1600x1200 60Hz modeline work regardless? My next step is to try manually setting up a modeline. Does this seem like the right thing to do? If so, any tips? Thanks for any help, Daniel Wexler R&D Staff, PDI/DreamWorks
