Hello everyone, I've got a problem with my framebuffer (tty) resolution. Currently running debian testing (through linux mint debian edition). Grub2 works with my native resolution, which is 1280x800. The rest of the boot sequence runs at 800x600 or so. After starting X, my desktop runs hardware

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get an rt kernel working in debian testing on an amd64 laptop with nvidia graphics. Ideally I'd have nouveau set up to start when I select (in grub) the rt kernel and the nvidia drivers when choosing the regular kernel. Problem is, I don't know how to do that... Any

I recently had a similar problem with a 9300 gs (which I understand to be pretty much the same + dx9 support or smth). Gdm3 would never start after installing a modded kernel. As a workaround, try changing 'nvidia' for 'vesa' in the grub config file and see where that leads. Maybe you can boot lik

Re: Is 1600x1200 screen better than 1440x900?

2012-04-24 Thread daniel jimenez
The extra vertical resolution could come in handy, although because of the aspect ratio (its much more of a square than the one you've got now) some of it wouldn't be useful when watching widescreen movies. Think about the aspect ratio as one of the most important factors when choosing a screen.
