Hi everybody
I am facing a strange problem.
I have a nvidia 8600 gt card.
After having installed Kubuntu 7.10 and and the nvidia driver, I could get a 1280 X 720 resolution.
After having installed LinuxMCE 7.10 Beta3, the AVwizard probably starts but I cannot see anything but a blue screen.
In a new console [alt+F2 e.g], if I run startx, I get the kde desktop but at a 640 x 400 resolution.
I know that the AVWizard is running [through the blue screen]
After all changes I tried I was thrown back to the 640 x 400 resolution.
In other words LinuxMCE does not accept any resolution except the 640 x 400 resolution.
I have an hybrid system hooked to a LCD TV by the dvi plug.
Do you have any idea to get the kubuntu resolution?
thank you for help
Serge

I pounded my head against the wall trying to get the 8400gs card working and it gave me all kinds of strange issues. I ended up using the 7300 instead and had things working minutes later. You'll save yourself alot of time and frustration if you have the option to switch cards.

Hi
Thank you for your answer.
After many tries, I ended by making it work just through the vga connector.
Every try I made with the dvi/hdmi connexion ended by a failure.
So for the while I will stick to that port till I change for a 7300 card instead.
What is still amazing is that all the installation [kubuntu and LinuxMCE-7.10Beta3]
was made through the dvi port. I did not use the vga plug at all....

You could try comparing the xorg.conf files to see what the difference is.

The suggestions in the doc don't seem to make much difference on the 8000 series cards. This guy http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=4379.0 seems to have gotten an 8500 GT card working. |

And what he did is not mentioned in that doc. Just saying "edit a file" doesn't to much good if you don't know what to edit.
I don't understand why you have to be such a dick to everyone out here.

If you'd actually bothered to read that doc, you'll find that there are a lot of suggestions on what to edit. And if it doesn't address your specific problem then you should have added it, that's how the doc works. And I don't understand why you have to winge about it while you obviously can't be bothered to contribute something yourself. |
