Greetings,<br><br>I'm attempting to get the resolution resolved using an asus m2nbp-vm<br>motherboard with a Geforce 6150 LE onboard.<br><br>I'm currently connecting to the monitor via VGA cable (dvi on the way...).
<br><br>When I set the resolution to 1920x1080 (the preferred native resolution<br>of the monitor), X comes up *way* to big (screen real estate wise). I<br>can not see the standard desktop icons (they are way off to the left),
<br>nor can I see the task bar (way off to the bottom) and windows that<br>attempt to open in the upper right corner loose their title bar.<br><br>Other resolutions do work, though aren't as 'nice' as the native resolution.
<br><br>Another interesting thing - the manual suggests 1920x1080 at 60hz,<br>though X only allows me to pick 50hz.<br><br>So, my questions are:<br><br>1) Is this a video card issue? I have a 5200 floating around I can also
<br>try...<br>2) Is it just a matter of tweaking the modeline - playing with the<br>'front porch' 'back porch' settings till the image fits?<br>3) Cabling?<br>4) Sync rate? xorg.conf gives the more or less standard range -
30.0 -<br>68.0 and 58.0 - 72.0<br><br>TIA!<br>Brian<br><br></blockquote></div>I have the 47 inch Westinghouse monitor. I don't use a modeline in xorg.conf at all. <a href="http://X.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
X.org</a> automatically detects the resolutions available from the monitor. For the VGA input on my monitor there is a menu where you can adjust the picture position and whatnot. I think the refresh rate problem has to do with the RAMDAC of your videocard. 1920x1080x50/60Hz is pushing lower end RAMDACs to the limit. Hopefully a DVI cable will clear up your overscan problem.
