Re: Xorg 6.7/MSI nVidia 5500/Widescreen LCD problem



I did indeed use that utility to generate a 1680x1050 at 60Hz (and it's
in the EDID of the display). However, its pclk is over the monitor's
stated max pclk (135 MHz). And the latest nVidia on Linux with Xorg
6.7 is limiting to 60 Hz refresh for some reason (using a DVI
connection amd tje ,pmotpr cam dp 50-75 Hz). I believe a 50 Hz version
would work if I could select it somehow. The other strange issue seems
to be the driver will remove *any* modeline with a X-resolution over
1280 as being too large. I generated all multiples from 1280 to 1680
in 16:10 format and the driver rejected them *all*. However, I easily
made 1024x640 and 800x500 (16:10 versions of 1024x768 and 800x600) and
the driver took them happily.

So, I'm totally clueless why it believes my display can only do
1280x1024 max when it uses 1680x1050 for the DPI computation (I had
these problem with the nv with X too).

Dan
