Re: How to install nvidia driver
Hi again!
Now I have another problem.
After installing nvidia drivers, my consoles (ctrl+alt+F1,F2,...) have a diferent color. Not the normal black and white.
Now I get blue (background) and white (characters) consoles, and most
of the times, fuzzy blue and white. Sometimes I get a complete white
screen (no charaters) that shows coloured lines progressively.
Anybody knows why is that?
Thanks

Hi!
Problem solved!!!!!
It was enough to set:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
As suggested by Corey.
Thank you all ;)

Heh. My laptop's LCD melts in black and white when I try to use software
suspend.

I don't know if this will help, but I had to use a custom modeline on my
Toshiba laptop to make it work right at 1400x1050. The nvidia driver was
reading the EDID as (if I recall correctly) 1360x1050 and there was an
annoying black bar at the right hand side of the screen.
Try making these modifications to your xorg.conf:
1. Set HorizSync to 29-49 (according to the EDID info in your log that
is correct).
2. Set VertRefresh to 60 (as far as I know that's correct for all or at
least most LCDs).
3. In your "Monitor" section, insert the following modeline:
Modeline "1280x800_60.00"
83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828
-HSync -Vsync
My email program is going to break that up, but the "-HSync -Vsync" is
part of the same Modeline. For reference, I generated that with "gtf
1280 800 60" and changed the +Vsync to -Vsync because that was necessary
for my laptop. If it doesn't work for yours you can try switching them
around.
4. In your 24-bit "Display" subsection, change "1280x800" to
"1280x800_60.00" to reference the custom modeline.
5. In your nvidia "Device" section add:
Option "IgnoreEDID 1"
If all this doesn't work, you can try asking on the
nvnews.net Linux forum.
