hi
it’s quite a simple case, 1 monitor setup and I would like to run it at 120mhz.
- nvidia-settings, set it from auto to 1920x1080 120mhz, apply. Reboot, back at 60mhz
- KDE settings, display and monitor, advanced settings, change auto to 120mhz, apply. Reboot, back at 60mhz
- nvidia-settings, make it create an xorg.conf, preview it, take the relevant sections and put them in a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-benq.conf. Reboot, back at 60mhz
Section "Monitor"
# HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "BenQ XL2420T"
HorizSync 30.0 - 140.0

Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"

EndSubSection
EndSection
From this last try the Xorg.0.log shows this in relation to the resolution/freqency:
22.419] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "1920x1080_120 +0+0"
23.308] (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes:
23.308] (II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_120+0+0"
23.368] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1920x1080_120+0+0"
40.256] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select @1920x1080 +0+0 {ViewPortIn=1920x1080, ViewPortOut=1920x1080+0+0}"
if I remove the 99-benq.conf then Xorg.0.log shows none of the above, so it seems the 99-benq.conf file gets loaded and then something (about 17sec) later resets it.
I would rather not even use a xorg.conf file as something this simple should be set in the “KDE settings, display and monitor”, but I have found very little info about this tool it appears to not save its settings.
so any idea’s would be appreciated as this should be a quiet basic thing.
Thanks, Xil
