When I have the 7667 version of the Nvidia-glx and Nvidia-kernel drivers installed, X can't start at the native 1920x1200 resolution on my Dell 2405fpw monitor. Instead, it loads aat 1600x1200 resolution. I'm using xorg 6.8.2-r2. The relevant lines in my xorg.conf file look like: Modeline "DELL1920" 193.16 1920 2048 2256 2592 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync The relevant info in my xorg log file is: (II) NVIDIA(0): Dell 2405: Using default hsync range of 30.00-81.00 kHz (II) NVIDIA(0): Dell 2405: Using default vrefresh range of 56.00-76.00 Hz (II) NVIDIA(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 165.00 MHz (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "DELL1920" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) When I downgrade to the 7174 driver version, it loads at 1920x1600 fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge and install nvidia-glx 7667 2. Start X 3. Actual Results: Loads in 1600x1200 mode Expected Results: Should load in 1920x1200 mode. Previous version of Nvidia drivers load fine at this resolution
In addition, this is on eVGA 6800 GT, normal clock, on Gentoo kernel 2.6.12-r6
Unless we're doing something weird I'm not so sure this is a Gentoo bug. Might be an nVidia problem...did you Google it?
Got a response from Nvidia, it's a known problem with their drivers. Thought it might be good to report it in case someone has a similar problem.
