Hi,

I have absolutely strange glitch on 10.1 (stock kernel from DVD, GeForce 5500)
with nVidia driver 8762. Compilation and installation of nVidia kernel module
went without any problem, commands like modprobe, switch2nviadia and glxinfo
run successfully, but sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (and x.org) cannot switch to any
other resolution but 800x600/60 Hz. No matter what I have tried (recompile
nVidia driver, restart PC, editing xorg.conf manually, etc).

I had a similar problem with the combination of 10.1 stock kernel and 8762
driver (see my post from a couple days ago). In my case 10.1 + 8762 was
unable to come up with the 1600x1200 resolution for my monitor. Going back
to the older driver, 8756, solved the problem for me. I also posted this
problem on the nvidia linux forum where the nvidia people are currently
taking a look at it.


nVidia dummy driver can run on any other resolution which monitor supports, as
well as 10.0 and the same nVidia 8762 driver.


So, the problem could actually be in the 10.1 kernel rather than in the
driver? Well, I suppose not impossible.

HTH. Good luck, Alex.
