Description John Mike 2005-10-29 12:08:09 UTC
I’m using SuSE 10.0 Eval edition on DVD. I have a GeForce 4 MX 440 and a LCD 19” monitor from Philips 190S5. I installed the latest nVidia driver 7676 and Linux detects my monitor correctly as PHL Philips 190S5. But it only allows me to keep it in 74 Hz refresh rate and the image is really distorted. The monitor’s optimal resolution is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. It is in 1280 x 1024 but at 74 Hz. Even if I try to manually change the sync rates, the image is really distorted. There is no way I can get a decent image.For a LCD screen (that is made of transistors for each point) the image streches from point (0,0) to point (1279,1023). If the image comes distorted and passes over the screen edge of a LCD, unlike a CRT, even if you adjust it manually from the buttons on the monitor, the image will be unclear. I couldn’t get a good image but I tried a lot of other monitor types from the list. The real problem is that under SuSE 9.3 IT WORKED with the 190S5 monitor type and I had a nice image, undistorted from point (0,0) to point (1279,1023). There is a problem with the graphic base system, X11, or something else.

Could you attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks.

The archive contains the files Xorg.0.log andxorg.conf.

Remove the line 

  UseModes     "Modes[0]"

in 'Section "Monitor"' of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If this doesn't help,
change the VertRefresh (same Section) to 58-62, so 60 Hz will hopefully
be forced.

Thanks. That did it!
