Bug 109064 – nvidia-* 7676 doesn't work with dell 2005fpw

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description complich8 2005-10-12 15:26:38 UTC]

using xorg-x11, nvidia-kernel 1.0.7676 and nvidia-glx 1.0.7676-r1, a QuadroFX
500, and a dell 2005fpw.

Monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050.  xorg driver complains that there's no
such mode as 1680x1050, and drops resolution to 1400x1050 instead.

Stable version supported this monitor and resolution with the same xorg.conf

Reproducible: Always

xorg.conf

My xorg.conf that worked with the previous driver version, but downgrades to
1400x1050 now

Xorg.0.log

Xorg.0.log from starting X, discarding the 1680x1050 mode.

Again, xorg.conf is unchanged from 1.0.6629

This isn't really a Gentoo bug...either you have to add a different modeline for
the res you want or wait till nVidia fixes their drivers.

I'll set UPSTREAM for now since it seems to be nVidia's problem.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6106.html seems to have some
details regarding reporting bugs.
