(solved) nvidia- how to get better resolution with nouveau?

 

 

-----------

@seasons (instead of:)

After hard work I achieve some kind of success. So little explanation here:

First: ddcprobe command output:

      Code:

root@siduxbox:/home/janusz# ddcprobe
vbe: VESA 3.0 detected.
oem: NVIDIA
vendor: Build    060809.4
product: MCP61 - mcp61-80 Chip Rev
memory: 65536kb
mode: 640x400x256
mode: 640x480x256
mode: 800x600x16
mode: 800x600x256
mode: 1024x768x16
mode: 1024x768x256
mode: 1280x1024x16
mode: 1280x1024x256
mode: 320x200x64k

mode: 640x480x64k

mode: 800x600x64k
mode: 800x600x16m
mode: 1024x768x64k
mode: 1024x768x16m
mode: 1280x1024x64k
mode: 1280x1024x16m
edid:
edidfail

As seen as, the monitor is not recognized!

I used gtf command to get modeline statement:

      Code:

janusz@siduxbox:~$ gtf 1440 900 60

  # 1440x900 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 55.92 kHz; pclk: 106.47 MHz
  Modeline "1440x900_60.00"  106.47  1440 1520 1672 1904  900 901 904 932  -HSync +Vsync

then filled Section Monitor (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) with code:

      Code:

Section "Monitor"
     Identifier   "Monitor0"
     VendorName   "Unknown"
     ModelName    "Unknown"
     HorizSync       35.0 - 88.0
     VertRefresh     55.0 - 75.0
     Modeline     "1440x900@60"  106.47  1440 1508 1660 1904  900 901 904 932  -HSync +Vsync
     Option         "DPM"
EndSection

and Section Screen with:

      Code:

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device     "Card0"
   Monitor    "Monitor0"
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     1
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     4
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     8
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     15
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     16
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     24
           Modes     "1440x900@60" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Note: In modeline I used data exactly from gtf output but screen was shifted left, so I changed data due to parameters explanation from Modeline Calculator at http://www.arachnoid.com/modelines/

Conclusion: 1. I'm not first place winner, the monitor isn't able to shows on screen current resolution (as parameters aren't exactly what it expected) and I don't know why as a few days ago with nvidia driver and the same modeline the monitor was showing proper resolution.
2. There are many dependences between grub, xorg (and who knows where else?) statements witch determines graphic card output signal and I am unable to comprehend the whole of the matter for now.

For now I'm and try to get gamma correction as screen has a slight green cast.

      Code:

xgamma -ggamma 0.85

works fine, but my goal is to place this in xorg.conf.
And that's for now...
