Display Resolution Woes

[spokehedz]

I have tried everything. Twice. To try and get my monitor to display at the native resolution.

I set it in the display panel, using Generic LCD (1280x1024) monitor, and all the resolutions show up just fine. However, when I go to actually change that in the display config, all it shows me is 1024x768.

Yes, I've edited my xorg.conf. Here it is:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

	Identifier     "single head configuration"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#	Option	"XkbModel"	"pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#	Option	"XkbModel"	"microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
# or:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
#	Option	"XkbVariant"	"nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#	Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#	Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:nocaps"

I've tried changing the driver to older ones, same problem. My monitor is really an IBM T750 which is connected through DVI.

Everything else works fine. The accelerated games and whatnot, but just not at the native res. and it is driving me INSANE because everything is blurry.

Anything help at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

Please start X with the following command:
startx -- -logverbose 5

and then generate and post an nvidia-bug-report.log.

Thanks,

Here is the file. I notice that it says that 1280x1024 is not a valid mode in there. It is, as it is the native resolution of this monitor. I used it all the time. And when I disable the NVIDIA driver, it goes right back to 1280x1024 without any problems whatsoever.

Thanks. There is a 1280x1024 mode in the EDID, however it seemed to be getting silently rejected. Please start X with the following command:
startx -- -logverbose 6

and then generate and post an nvidia-bug-report.log so that I can determine why that mode is being rejected.

Thanks,
Lonni

Done and done. Lets see if this helps out any. And thanks for the help thus far.

EDIT: File was unchanged for some reason.

[netllama]

This bug report is identical to the last one. Did you start X with the new command that I provided (which differs from the previous command)?

I thought I did... The timestamp changed. Weird. Let me do it again...

[spokehedz]

Okay. I deleted it, ran it again. This is a new one for sure.

Thanks, here's the problem:

You can try working around this by specifying the "NoHorizSyncCheck" parameter for the ModeValidation option.

Thanks,

Yes! It works! haha!

Some of those options are really interesting. Thanks!
