Another resolution problem

Hey everyone.

I’ve searched the forums and found many cases of people having trouble setting their resolution, but nothing exactly like what’s happening to me.

I have a samsung 971p running on an AGP geforce 6800gt. Using the VGA slot on the card.

I for some reason can’t set my resolution to 1280x1024. Sax2 is able to switch between 800x600 and 1024x800, but whenever I try to switch to 1280x1024, it automatically goes to 1024x800. Even when I test the new resolution in sax2, the test runs at 1024x800.

xrandr shows this:
1024x768 50.0 53.0 54.0*
800x600 51.0 56.0 57.0 58.0
640x480 52.0 59.0 60.0 61.0
832x624 55.0
512x384 62.0 63.0 64.0
416x312 65.0
400x300 66.0 67.0 68.0 69.0
320x240 70.0 71.0 72.0

The desktop resolution tool in the task panel shows the same goofy resolutions and refresh rates.

I also noticed that if I use sax2 to change the resolution down to 800x600, the 1024x768 entry disappears in both xrandr and the desktop tool. Don’t know if that’s important.

Here’s xorg. I’ve noticed that I have no “modes” listed. Don’t know if that’s important. I tried adding 1280x1024 manually, but it did nothing. Can’t promise that I did it right though:

Thanks in advance!

Open a console type su then root pass then
nvidia-xconfig then nvidia-settings set you resolution and save to xconfig.

Thanks for the help! I didn’t know about that util. However, that does not solve my problem. nvidia-settings only has choices available up to 1024x768. Also, it seems to have autodetected my monitor as “samsung”, but nothing more. It added some stuff to xorg, here it is:

Reading your problem description felt like having a deja-vu. Having the exact same problem as you and I am following it up with experts on forum boards. But one thing I can tell you for sure, editing preferred resolution in xorg.cong wont help you, nvidia-settings wont show the required resolution and sax2 will always fallback even though it displays the resolution you require.

One guy has asked me to post me /var/logs/Xorg.0.log so that he may analyze and see why resolution is falling back to defaults. You can post yours here as well and maybe someone with keen eyes will pinpoint whats causing us trouble.

A small tip if I may. When pasting files, please use the code tags from the toolbar. It helps those who are trying to help us.:wink:

Thanks for the tip doubledragon. No sense making it any harder to help me out :wink:

I’ll post the log file as soon as I get home. It may be cluttered with some of my ham-fisted attempts at manual changes though :shame:

here’s the log file. Don’t know how helpful it will be though. I only see one mention of 1280x1024 and that’s just a mode title, clearly a result of my aforementioned ham-fisted meddling.

I’m also installing KDE right now (been running GNOME). Of course I’ll mention if it makes any difference, but should I expect it to make a difference?
