So to put it in once sentence: please provide some information in
the nv man page about the functionalities supported, by model
type. Or provide a link to an official doc (up-to-date), or
something. It shouldn't take long, just a few sentences would be
enough...
Would http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR sound like the right
place?
Thanks for the link. Looking quickly through it, however, it seems it
does not document specifically what I was searching for: specific nv
support for RandR. Maybe I missed it.
I still think that clear documentation should be provided (in the man
page?) about the question: does nv support RandR 1.2. So that people do
not waste time trying to make it work if the answer is no. (And if it
is yes, at least they now it is worth searching.)
I searched for a long time how to make RandR work on my board,
especially considering that typing xrandr --version on my terminal
reports a 1.2 version. Now I realised that (I think) nv does not yet
support 1.2 for my board, so it was a waste of time. I think the
current doc in the man page is misleading about that topic.
You may want to try out -nouveau from experimental with current Xorg
components from unstable. Shouldn't be worse than -nv.
Thanks, but I don't have this computer any more, and thus not this
problem any more.
Mraw,
