Dell 8200 at 1600x1200?
I recently purchased a Dell 8200 and put Linux (RedHat 7.2) on it. (specifically 7.2 for development reasons).
I have gotten the NVidia driver up and running just beautifully and I couldn't be happier except for one small thing: When I run it at 1600x1200, the X display doesn't fit on the entire screen. It's not "virtual," either. That is -- if you move the cursor off screen, the display does not scroll over to follow it. Works fine at 1400x1050. I'll leave it at 1400x1050 if I have to, but my reading of postings in here suggests to me I should be able to run at full resolution. Thoughts? :c) |

1600x1200
Might actually be the amount of RAM in my video card. I thought it was 64. It's actually 32.
In Winblowz, it also does not come up (or allow) 1600x1200. |

actually i've got 64mb in my video card... and in windows it does allow 1600x1200 (1900x1400 when i have a monitor plugged in). i can do 1600x1200 when the machine is docked (in linux) as well though... hrm...

option in cfg to disable bandwith check
I had similar problem on Dell Latitude C840. New nvidia driver 4191 logged message that bandwith is too small fo r16x12 . It worked on GF2MX ok though. So I had to put following in the XF86Config:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "NVIDIA GeForce 4 Go 440" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "NvAgp" "1" Option "DigitalVibrance" "1" Option "NoBandWidthTest" "1" Option "renderAccel" "1" # Option "IgnoreEDID" "1" Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x960" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection Hope it helps!
