Sarge nvidia: too low resolution
Hi does anyone know about this?
I have just installed the current Sarge Debian testing along with the
official NVIDIA-driver from NVIDIA's own development.
It seems to work fine, except that I can't get resolution higher than
800x600. Anything else than the native resolution 1280x1024 on my LG tft
screen looks ugly.
Facts:
* It worked fine on Mandrake 9.2 on the same hardware.
* the nvidia driver is loaded and running. Splashscreen is showing etc.
* the NVIDIA system posts several messages like this in my
"/var/log/XFree86.0.log":
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "512x384" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range)

(WW) (1600x1200,L1715S) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
* I am running kernel 2.6.8
* I have disabled GLcore and dri and enabled GLX
Does anyone have an idea here, which doesn't involve rebuilding kernels?
Sorry, I am a bit idealistic about not building kernels. It is only for
configuration and trimming of special purpose systems, which I don't
think a regular standard desktop Linux ever should be. Perhaps I don't
belong i the testing branch then :-)
Anyway, has anyone experienced the something like this?
Regards
Søren
