<br>Damian,<br><br><br>I did a bit of reading. Maybe if you were to go right back to basics and see what the NVIDIA can do on its own:<br>1) Get rid of the modelines.<br>2) Try specifying the resolution as "1024x768_60" in the "Modes" line. The EDID suggests the monitor will support this.
<br>3) Don't put any of those "NoEDID" options etc in there, let's just see if the NVIDIA can sort it out itself!<br>4) Don't specify the horizontal and vertical frequency limits either just see what the EDID gives us...
<br><br>Do the startx --logverbose 5 thing and see what happens....<br><br><br>OR Did you see this....<br><br>"It's starting to point somewhere...<br><br>These types of lines:<span class="q"><br><br>WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to use mode "800x600" for DFP-0; cannot compute
<br>
backend<br>
(WW) NVIDIA(0): DFP timings (mode is larger than native backend 640 x<br>
(WW) NVIDIA(0): 480).<br>
<br></span>Mean it's decided to have a screen size of 640x480 so therefore it's thrown everything out that's bigger than this.<br><br>Try adding:<br> Virtual 2000 2000<br>Under your "Modes" line, this sets the size of the desktop to 2000 by 2000 (far too big) which you then scroll around.
<br><br><br>We're also getting:<span class="q"><br>(--) NVIDIA(0): DFP-0: DFP modes are limited to 60 Hz refresh rate<br><br></span>So maybe we need:<br><span> Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNon60HzDFPModes"
<br>
</span><span>Option "ModeValidation" "</span><span>NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"</span><br><br>Instead of putting those options in one line? (Unless you've already tried it)<br>
<br>Also try putting those Option lines (the Modevalidation NoEDID etc) in the "Device" section, see what happens then.<br><br>The
grey background is normal for "startx" that's basically just a blank
desktop screen with no window manager no nothing, but we're only
debugging so we're actually more interested in the log file!
<br><br>Trying these things out and then post us your configs and Xorg.0.log file.<br><br>Cheers<br><span class="sg">"<br></span><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/06/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Alan Calvert
