Hi! I'm having a hard time getting the Nvidia driver to recognize custom modelines.
Basically, my setup is a nice, shiny LCD panel, and an old, big CRT monitor--I want to add custom modelines to the latter, for things like MAME and Dosbox--both of which use relatively exotic video modes. Additionally, I know the monitor is capable of using these modes, since I used it years before the new Xorg configuration infrastructure existed. I'm using the version 302.17 driver, from the Ubuntu xorg-edgers repository, and I notice that while it does support much of the randr spec, it doesn't support the "--addmode" parameter So, the next resort is to xorg.conf--Currendly, I have the following setup. Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 302.11 (buildd@louvi) Tue May 22 00:14:23 UTC 2012

[ 9031.940] (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "CRT:320x200_120.00,DFP:NULL"; removing. [ 9031.940] (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "CRT:256x224_120.00,DFP:NULL"; removing. I've tried both with and without the _120.00 in Xorg.conf, and that doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? |
