View Full Version : GeForce FX 5200 maximum resolution

I have just installed a 256 MB GeForce FX 5200 board on my Linux box, which is running Slackware 10.2 with a 2.6.13 kernel and X.Org 6.8.2.

When I launch X windows using the nv driver (shipped with X.Org software) the resolution of my X display is 1920x1440, at 24 bpp.

However, when I use the Nvidia driver nvidia (in its latest incarnation, 1.0-8756 for x86 Linux) this driver refuses to go beyond 1280x1024 at such depth.

My attempts to coax it into using this resolution/depth, by inserting the appropriate Modes line in my xorg.conf file, are just rejected as invalid modes by the nvidia driver when launching X windows.

The monitor that I am using is an HP p920 which, like I said, supports a 1920x1440 resolution at 24 bpp. Why is it the case that the X.Org driver nv supports this resolution/depth combination, whereas Nvidia's so far does not? Is there a way around this?

I have that problem too, with slack, X.org 6.9.0 and NV8756. The only way i found to pass this is to add the line Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes" in the device section

Though I'm not using Xorg I had similar problems with
Slackware 9.1/XFree86. The nvidia driver just didn't seem
to care about my modelines or any resolution not standard
with the monitor.

Though I wasn't trying to get a larger resolution like you
I found I had to create a uniquely(sp?) named mode
just to get my old modeline to work.

See this thread here.

I remember trying what the other post said about
"ModeValidation" and "NoEdidModes" options but they didn't
seem to work for me.

Your language suggests that you are a spam bot. Why are you answering dead threads with SUPER general and vague posts?

Perhaps for the sake of promoting something, or another part of an SEO spammer.. I guess..

You got it right.. There has been an issue about this, and there are some web masters who have already implemented a spam application or something.. Not sure what it is, but it automatically detects IP address, and bans that IP from posting again..

Did I get it right there i s a bot who can instantly delete spammers' Ip address? What if they use a proxy will the banned IP still be able to post comments on certain sites? I have a site and I keep on receiving spam messages.. at first I thought that it was a great review of my work but i keep on receiving that same message over and over again. this is not good for my site right?

Well, at one point, it is a nice thing for your website, because your site may have a high PR.. On the other hand, it is not a good indication, because the quality of your website may be jeoparidized..

I guess that we all have the same problem.. I have researched for this on the net since yesterday and when I bumped into this forum I thought i could find the right answer but I was wrong.. I am considering about calling for professional help this time.

This is quite off topic already.. Anyway, what I think what he is trying to say was that he sent a personal message, and got a response which is not vague. However, he is quite sure that the response is not a bot response..

What seemed to be the problem.. Perhaps we could figure out a workaround for this..

I too have this problem for many years. I assumed Nvidia would fix it, but I think they haven't realised the problem yet.

The NV34 FX 5200 does support up to 1920x1080 over DVI-D and VGA because I use those resolutions on this card (winfast A340) all day in Windows and in Linux Xorg nv driver, but NOT in Linux on Nvidia drivers.

Someone needs to tell someone who can do something, then hundreds of us can all stop being annoyed.
