I'm having similiar problems, but with Ubuntu 8.10. I have an nVidia GeForce Go 7600 on a Compal HEL80 laptop. My external monitor is a Soyo Topaz S, with a native resolution of 1920x1200. The nv driver upon default install detects this without a problem.
I installed the nvidia-glx-177 driver through the Restricted Driver Manager. Upon reboot, my laptop's display was displaying correctly, but Nvidia-Xsettings shows a max resolution of 1360x768, which my monitor is unable to display correctly. I ran: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg sudo nvidia-xconfig And received an error about the driver not being specified in the Device section. Upon restarting X, there was no change in Nvidia-Xsettings. I set it to 1024x768, which is displaying correctly. I installed read-edid, and ran: sudo get-edid > /tmp/get-edid.dat I have attached the contents of get-edid.dat, as well as the output of lspci -vvnn. I have also attached /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I will attempt to fix this problem with Xrandr. ** Attachment added: "Contents of get-edid, lspci -vvnn, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19464999/edid.lspci.xorg..tar.gz -- nvidia-settings wrong resolution of external display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
