Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nv
I have a widescreen LCD monitor for which the native resolution is
1440x900. On install of feisty (herd5) the display is set for 1280x1024.
Running 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' allows me to select 1440x900 and
the 'nv' driver. Everything else was left set to the defaults.
Unfortunately after a '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' the resolution of the
signal reaching the monitor is '1280x800'. This doesn't look sharp (as
it isn't the native res) and the bottom part of the desktop isn't
visible.
Installing the binary 'nvidia' drivers package and reconfiguring xorg again
produces a single line change:
92c92
< Driver "nv"
---
> Driver "nvidia"
This resolves the problem and leaves my display in the correct
resolution. I will attach my xorg.conf and the log files from a
successful 'nvidia' start and a 'nv' start which leaves the display in
the wrong resolution. Let me know if I can supply any further
information or run any tests.
