Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xrandr
this is with an nvidia geforce fx5200 with DVI and VGA plugs, using the
open source "nv" driver on a liveCD (not nvidia-glx).
I have experienced this problem 100% of times from Warty to Gutsy.
This problem happens only when connected in DVI.
My HP F1905B 19" LCD monitor has a native resolution of 1280x1024, but is
incorrectly detected as 1024x768 and the resolution is entered as such in
xorg.conf.
xrandr gives me this:
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.0*
800x600 60.0 56.0
640x480 60.0
I used to install nvidia-glx and replace 1024x768 by 1280x1024 in
xorg.conf, and it worked.
However, I discovered today that if I boot the liveCD using only the VGA plug,
my 1280x1024 resolution seems to be detected correctly. Of course I get some
lack of precision because it is VGA (the screen position is actually wrong) but
the resolution seems fine.
This has just proven to me that it most likely is not that "the nv driver
cannot go higher than 1024x768" like I once thought.
I would like this to work out of the box. Will provide any information
requested.
