No, that don't work for me. Specifying a bigger mode than the display driver can handle can only give me a "virtual" desktop size, i.e., I need to *pan* to reach every corner, which I don't like. Moreover, the wrong resolution is damaging my monitor -- 2 days later the pixels started to be "blowing" rightward. > But if you're happy with the results, that's the important thing. Yes, I am. Note that what I added is the correct "Modeline", telling nv driver how to handle such situation, which is used to be the common practice when X can't do the automatic detection before (10 years ago?). cheers -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
