graphic drivers?

Re: graphic drivers?

Here is my file:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier  "Default Screen"
  Monitor    "Configured Monitor"
  Device    "Configured Video Device"
  DefaultDepth  24
  Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals"  "True"
  Option  "UseDisplayDevice"  "DFP"
EndSection

Section "Module"
  Load  "glx"
  Disable  "dri2"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
  Driver  "nvidia"
EndSection

Should I use yours but with my monitor's resolution and sync rates?

Thanks for all your help so far I really appreciate it.

Re: graphic drivers?

Well I tried changing the file to the following:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "Configured Monitor"
  VendorName  "Samsung"
  ModelName  "TFT-LCD"
  HorizSync  30.0 - 80.0
  VertRefresh  50.0 - 75.0
  Option    "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier  "Default Screen"
  Monitor    "Configured Monitor"
  Device    "Configured Video Device"
  DefaultDepth  24
  Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals"  "True"
  Option  "UseDisplayDevice"  "DFP"
  Subsection  "Display"
   Depth    24
   Modes    "1360x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Module"
  Load  "glx"
  Disable  "dri2"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
  Driver  "nvidia"
  VendorName  "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

At the login screen it looked beautiful, nice high-resolution screen. When I logged in, for about two seconds I had a nice high-resolution desktop, then a flicker and reversion to a 640x480, with no taskbar and no plasma widgets. I can only run things through the command line or terminal.

I ran "kdesudo nvidia-settings" and it gave me the option to choose a lot of high resolution modes (even more than I listed in xorg.conf), but because the window is larger than 640x480 I can't click "Apply"!

...just burn some chicken feathers...

I did that - once. The police showed up at my door. Apparently, my neighbor, having witnessed what I had done, called the ASPCA and they called the police. Apparently, you need to have the chicken feathers off of the chicken before you burn them.

I didn't know you had that many neighbors up in Wasilla, Alaska. Does Sarah live close to you?

Does Sarah live close to you?

Her home is within five miles of where I live.
