I feel as if I'm reading a post that I selected at random from the
middle of a long thread with lots of previous questions and answers
that I can't see.
I've never heard of either of those products. Maybe someone else
knows what
they are?
Do not worry about not knowing about the products that I mentioned in
the parenthesis in the last paragraph (they are just some laptops with
differend graphic cards built in). You may know enough to help if you
are familiar with Xorg, in particular the driver called NV (as the first
2 lines of my post shows). Do you for example know from where the driver
gets the bogus physical display size 508 x 317 from, and why it insists
on using it instead of the configured size?
Are you using hal? If so, you may need to get or change the config
files so that it will run at the settings you want instead of what it
"detects".
By the way, I have no idea how to edit them. It's in xml. You may can
google and borrow their config file tho.
If you are not using hal, it should be set in xorg.conf. I don't use
hal and that is where mine is set.
Hope that gives you a couple ideas.
