hello, I have a GeForce2 MX200: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX200] (rev b2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) The nouveau driver (squeeze) doesn't work, so I am trying the NVIDIA (commercial) driver. The GeForce2 MX200 seems to be supported by the 96.43.xx legacy NVIDIA driver (information from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html). So I used this guide: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers to install the NVIDIA driver with VERSION=-legacy-96xx the debian way Kernel: Linux localhost 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 10 16:12:40 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Debian version: squeeze from Thursday (updated from lenny on 2010-12-23). => the problem is that although I have a 1280x1024 TFT monitor (plugged in via VGA cable, it doesn't have a DVI port) I only get 640x480 resolution. From Xorg.0.log: [...] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0 (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce2 MX 100/200 at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0) => seems the graphics card is recognized [...] (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing. (WW) NVIDIA(0): (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode (WW) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select". (WW) NVIDIA(0): (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes: (II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select" (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 640 x 480 [...] I also tried to set UseEDID to FALSE (that's why the current Xorg.0.log which is attached is different from the one attached). The problem is most likely the monitor: it is fairly old and is attached via VGA. xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log are attached. I am grateful for any hint, Thanks in advance, -- Felix Natter
