Nvidia-Settings skips needed resolution [SOLVED]

I've been messing with xorg.conf for a long time now, since my first days back on Ubuntu. It is something I hate, but something I've learned how to manipulate pretty well. For some reason, 1360x768 is completely skipped over in "modes" in the Nvidia X Server Settings. It is declared in the "mode" list in the xorg.conf, and as the virtual screen. Xorg.conf:
http://pastebin.com/rtVEyn69
I'm not entirely sure why it is being skipped. I am currently stuck at 1024x768. Emerald also doesn't work, but this is not something that concerns me, just an added detail.

Here's what I see in Xorg.0.log:
Line 131 says that nvidia is not reading the EDID of your monitor.
Line 148 sets the virtual screen size to 1024 x 768
So... the EDID is information in the monitor that says "Hi my name is Mr. Monitor and I like this list of resolutions and I have this refresh rate and I enjoy long walk on beaches."  Either that monitor does not have EDID information or else the driver is having problems reading it for some reason.  It really doesn't matter and isn't something all that uncommon especially if it is an older monitor.  So then Nvidia says "If you aren't going to tell me anything, I'll just have to guess."  And promptly proceeds to guess wrong.  This is the part about the virtual screen size - you can't have a resolution bigger than the virtual screen size.  So if it is guessing that the screen is 1024x768 and setting the virtual screen size at that, that is the highest you can do.  No matter how much you beg and plead in your Screen Section of xorg.conf, saying "Come on and give me some lovin'.  I want a bigger resolution, please.  With sugar and a cherry on top."... no matter how much you plead, it will look at that virtual screen size and say, "Sorry. I don't know of anything that big, but I'll tell you what - I'll give you as big as I can think I can go, instead.  My virtual size is 1024x768, so thats the best I can give you."  And so, like an ever-faithful puppy, X gives you the best it has to offer.  And unlike that puppy, X does not poop on the floor afterwards.
So that is how the story goes.  The moral of the story is that we need to tell X and Nvidia that your screen can do better than Nvidia is guessing it can.  And since your monitor does not have the EDID to tell it this, we must tell it this.  This is done through the use of Modelines.  Basically, you go online and find a Modeline calculator... such as http://www.arachnoid.com/modelines/    ...then you tell the calculator what resolution and refresh rate you want to add.  If X is correctly guessing most of your resolutions, you don't need modelines for them; you just need the modelines for the resolutions you want to add in.   Then you put the modeline that is generated into your Xorg.conf, under the Monitor section... you can see an example of this on that website down below where it goes into detail on what a modeline is.
Hopefully once the modeline is in place, when X starts up it will see the modeline and say "Here's a piece of info on my monitor... i think i will use it."   It then will check that modeline against the horizontal and vertical refresh rates that you specified in your xorg.conf (HorizSync and VertRefresh) to make sure that you aren't trying to trick it into doing something the monitor is incapable of.  If it passes the test, then that resolution is added to the pool of resolutions for the monitor, and then the virtual screen size is set to the largest resolution in that pool (which you made the modeline for) and everything is peachy.

  • [SOLVED] nvidia-settings startup delay

    Does anyone happen to know why nvidia-settings takes a good 3-4 minutes to open after open it from the menu or the terminal, sudo or as user? I'm on xfce and didn't have this problem on Cinnamon or Ubuntu Gnome-Shell.
    I have to use this settings panel to turn "on" my secondary display when I plug it up also for some reason, this is new too, but I suppose not relevant to the original question. Bonus points if you know why this is too!

    Actually, chalk this up to not looking hard enough again. The suggestion to add
    127.0.0.1 myhostname
    to /etc/hosts seems to have solved the issue.

  • [kinda solved!]nvidia-settings segmentation fault

    hi
    i use nvidia-settings to adjust my graphic card setup. I haven't used it in a while though (in fact, i think it was using kde about 8 months ago), and tried to fire it up today on openbox, this is what i get;
    $ nvidia-settings
    (nvidia-settings:6351): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
    (nvidia-settings:6351): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
    Segmentation fault
    $
    I have never installed murrine ever! is it as simple an issue to fix as install murrine??
    i tried to pacman it & yaourt it, but its not found! before I go about finding the source code to compile, i was wondering if anyone else has any ideas?
    thanks

    hi, thanks for that. I installed the theme engine, now the error message only says;

    I keep my system fully updated all the time, but how do i find out what version of nvidia-utils i am using??

    I just got an nvidia card yesterday, so I'm not sure if this is regular behavior, but nvidia-settings take about 3-5 minutes to load.   I'm using KDE.   When I try to load it from the terminal I see a bunch of errors like this:

    I searched around for this issue, and found people who had similar problems with Firefox in the past, but I never see anyone who has solved it.  On my setup I don't have this issue with any other app besides nvidia-settings.

    Ok today i noticed that if I delete ~/.nvidia-settings-rc, the UI loads instantly just like it's supposed to.   I started googling around and found that there is indeed a bug in nvidia-settings which has something to do with the way it handles a machine's hostname.   
    If I edit ~/.nvidia-settings-rc and delete every line that starts with my hostname, the program loads instantly.   When you close nvidia-settings, it will re-write the file, and the next time you start it, you're back to waiting a long time for the UI to load.   It seems there is nothing that can be done to truly fix this until nvidia fixes the bug that is causing it.
    Thank you! I had this problem since the latest update.
    To avoid having to remove/edit the configuration file, I have added a line in /etc/hosts:

  • 9100M resolution [solved]

    I just got an Acer Aspire 4530, it comes with the NVidia 9100M G. Resolution defaults to 1024x768. I had to manually add the Modeline and Modes options for 1280x800. For some reason, X defaults to 1024x768 instead, but if I remove all Modelines except for the one I want, then 1280x800 is used. Is there any better way to set the default to be 1280x800?
    Here's my Xorg.conf.

    It's 1280x800, not 1024x800. :doh:

    With an older integrated nvidia ~6150, using the proprietary driver, with a short xorg.conf (take the one generated by X -configure) I put something like:
    sudo nvidia-settings -l
    in my xinitrc. I'm pretty sure that changed my resolution. Of course you then need to have the apropriate NOPASSWD: in /etc/sudoers.
    Another option would be to look into xrandr, (xrandr --auto), though I'm not so sure that it will work with your current driver.

  • Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

    Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
    I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
    Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

    You do not have to call US, but you need to call. Or else.

  • Xorg 1.6, nvidia brokenness w/ dual monitors [SOLVED]

    Hi,
    I upgraded this past week to xorg-server 1.6.1-1, nvidia 180.44-1, and kernel26 2.6.29.1-4.  When I rebooted today I found a few things are broken:
    I have a laptop and external monitor dual screen setup where each screen is a separate x screen, as setup by nvidia-settings.  After upgrading if I hold down any key for half a second or more (to trigger key repeat), my display on both monitors goes black and my mouse and keyboard stop responding (can't switch terminals, can't kill x...).  Resuming from xscreensaver also triggers this same problem.
    Another oddity is that when I move my mouse cursor from one monitor to the other a lingering "copy" of the cursor stays on the monitor I just move away from at the transition point to the other monitor.
    If I physically disconnect my external monitor (w/o changing xorg.conf) X displays none of the problems listed above.
    My xorg.conf is below.  Most of it is probably not useful, although I should point out that I have input hotplugging disabled w/ AutoAddDevices false:

    # nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder57) Thu Jul 17 18:40:12 PDT 2008

    have you looked at /var/log/xorg.0.log for warnings and errors?
    you need to get rid of ..
        Load           "type1"
        Load           "freetype"
    If you want independent X screens you need to get rid of..
        Option         "Xinerama" "1"
    or change "1" to "0" or "false"
    For two screens you should only need two device sections and you have three.
    Alot of people are having good results with a minimal xorg.conf with the new xorg-server. I can't really say too much about it as I still use my xorg.conf, although I could probably cut it down quite a bit.
    It looks like your xorg.conf needs a lot of tweaking. Or you could just delete most everything in it and let autoconfig do it's thing. Then just add little by little till you get everything working.
    Not sure how much it will help because i'm not using a laptop, but rather a desktop, but here's my working xorg.conf set up with nvidia and three seperate X screens.
    # Xorg configuration file altered by Leigh
    # Updated (Dec 2008)
    # Three independent screens
    # Three cards... (GeForce7900 PCI-E, GeForce6800 PCI-E, GeForce4 MX PCI)
    # Monitors... (Two Dell 2005 FPW's, One NEC MultiSync FE1250+ CRT)
    # Note: (Due to GeForce4 MX, I need to use the legacy nvidia drivers, nvidia-96xx.)

    What DE are you using? (if any) I have a similar problem since the last Gnome 3.12, doesn't matter where I put the command "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" it just doesn't work. I have to either open the GUI or issue the command on the terminal for it to happen, I tried with ~/.config/autostart/ /etc/xdg/autostart/ with a .xprofile file, a .xinitrc, nothing works, I can't tell from where this problem originates. Other programs start just fine with the mentioned methods, then it must be something wrong with the way nvidia is invoked I guessing, a couple of months ago was working flawlessly.

  • Using nvidia-settings without X/over ssh

    I have a computer with an nvidia GTX 670 that I want to control remotely. However, I have problems using nvidia-settings over ssh. When trying to use it, I get this error:
    ERROR: Cannot open display ':0.0'.
    When a user is logged in an xfce session locally, I can use nvidia-settings without issue, using the command line over ssh. As soon as I log out from the xfce session, I get
    Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
    ERROR: Cannot open display ':0.0'.
    ERROR: Unable to query attribute GPUCoreTemp specified in query '[gpu:0]/GPUCoreTemp' (no Display connection).
    How can I use nvidia-settings without the need for a user to be logged in locally?

    I am trying to do the same thing with a GT 240. I found something promising here:
    https://sites.google.com/site/akohlmey/ … s-X-Server
    Since you do have a local monitor, it may be easier not having to fake one. I don't have a monitor, I haven't gotten around to trying the Xorg stuff yet.

  • WHY Gnome ignores the nvidia-settings --load-config ...?

    ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux … overridden
    "If you believe that your desktop environment is overriding settings that you configured in nvidia-settings, some possible solutions are:
        1. Use the display configuration tools provided as part of the desktop environment (e.g. gnome-control-center display, gnome-display-properties, kcmshell4 display, unity-control-center display, xfce4-display-settings) to configure your displays, instead of the nvidia-settings control panel or the xrandr command line tool. Setting your desired configuration using the desktop environment’s tools should cause that configuration to be the one which is restored when the desktop environment overrides the existing configuration from nvidia-settings. If you are not sure which tools your desktop environment uses for display configuration, you may be able to discover them by navigating any available system menus for “Display” or “Monitor” control panels.
        2. For settings loaded from ~/.nvidia-settings-rc which have been overridden, run nvidia-settings --load-config-only as needed to reload the settings from ~/.nvidia-settings-rc.
        3. Disable any features your desktop environment may have for managing displays. (Note: this may disable other features, such as display configuration tools that are integrated into the desktop.)
        4. Use a different desktop environment which does not actively manage display configuration, or do not use any desktop environment at all…"
    It’s very frustrating for me. The driver is good and efficient, but you can not permanently set of personal values of brightness, contrast and gamma.
    It is there a chance to Gnome offered brightness and contrast controls integrated with gnome-tweak-tool or with any other tool?
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … a-settings
    I found a lot of instructions "how to", but not met with confirmation: IT WORKS.

    The 2 value is the default value by the way. If you start your X-session without your nvidia command, you will see it:
    nvidia-settings -q all | grep 'Pixmap'
    I don't know how it will work out for others, but the 0 value feels the best for me, and generally the lower the value the better. (thus, 4 seems the worst)
    I tried to experiment with the "PixmapCacheRoundSizeKB" attribute as well, but didn't notice any improvement, and it was kind of a letdown.
    Oh, and firefox seems way too sluggish to even try to make it smoother, google-chrome ftw.
    Anyway, I think the thread gets derailed with this discussion, maybe it would be better to start a new one in a different subforum and talk about the possible nvidia settings.
    edit. Ok, I just discovered that 0 value messes up my fonts in some applications. I think I'll stick with the default value.

    My phone was recently updated to 8.1.  After the update, when text messages are sent when my phone is turned off, they no longer appear when I turn the phone on.  Is there something in Settings that needs to be changed?

    MetsFanGirl,
    Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

    No one has been able to help me solve this problem even geeks on call
    So please out there give me some good advice. This feels like a level 5
    I have three computers at three different locations. The first one is a emac at my office running classic 9.2. The second location is a power book g4 running 10.4.5. at my home. The third is a power book g3 running OS 9.2.2at a third location.
    What I am trying to do is to access my computer at my office from the other two locations. My office has two computers that are on a network and talk to each other. They are both EMAC"S. They are connected by a ethernet network which is connected to a DSL modem which keeps me on the Internet all the time.
    At the other two locations I have direcway satellite which is broadband which also stays on all the time on the internet.
    I need to be able to access a data base on my main computer at my office and run the program which is an Omnis 7 program. I have multi user capabilities for this program, so that all the computers can access the data files at the same time and reqad and write.
    So this is my dileema.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    well, at any or all of the locations you may need to open up the ports through your routers to allow ARD access.
    Also, I'm wondering if you are experiencing problems between using old and new versions of remote desktop.
    In any case, when you say you have multi-user capabilities, to me that implies that from location 2 and 3 you want to open the database file directly, not open it within an RDC session on a machine at location 1. That will be a different issue. Now you are talking about file shares over TCP/IP.

    hi
    IF you are working on a corporate network, i guess you have to contact your network pple to do this job.
    I don't know the exact procedure but it goes like - configuring a reverse proxy and registering your computer with your domain proxy et all..
    Google this book <b>"Internet Security and Firewalls by Sepna Vaid, V V Preetham"</b> it will give you info about networks, firewalls etc.
