I hope this isn't OT - I know it's not myth-specific, but since it's using Axel's modules via Jarrod's guide, I thought it appropriate. If not, please flog me appropriately.<br><br>I just installed FC6 on a fresh system following Jarrod's updated guide. I'm running a Chaintech GeForce FX 5200 AGP video card. After the initial install, I was stuck at either 640x480 or 800x600, but I plugged on, hoping all the driver updates would give me a higher resolution. However, after updating the Nvidia drivers, I'm stuck with nothing but 640x480 in the KDE resolution options. I've modified my
xorg.conf trying to mimic the example at <a href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-SVid.txt">http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-SVid.txt</a> , but that did nothing. One thing I noticed was that Axel's xorg.conf was a big minimal, and after further inspection it turned out that my own
xorg.conf was a bit minimal. Before I go all willy-nilly and break my system further, I was hoping you guys could help. I'll paste the config files below, hopefully somebody can tell me where I've gone wrong:<br><br>Initial
xorg.conf, pre-Axel:<br><br>============================================<br># Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config<br><br>Section "ServerLayout"<br> Identifier "Default Layout"<br> Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
<br> InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Module"<br> Load "v4l"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "InputDevice"<br> Identifier "Keyboard0"
<br> Driver "kbd"<br> Option "XkbModel" "pc105"<br> Option "XkbLayout" "us"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Device"<br> Identifier "Videocard0"
<br> Driver "nv"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Screen"<br> Identifier "Screen0"<br> Device "Videocard0"<br> DefaultDepth 24<br> SubSection "Display"
<br> Viewport 0 0<br> Depth 24<br> EndSubSection<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Files"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Module"<br>EndSection<br>============================================
<br>Now, the xorg.conf post- Axel:<br>============================================<br><br># Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config<br><br>Section "ServerLayout"<br> Identifier "Default Layout"
<br> Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0<br> InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Files"<br> ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
<br> ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions"<br> ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "InputDevice"<br> Identifier "Keyboard0"
<br> Driver "kbd"<br> Option "XkbModel" "pc105"<br> Option "XkbLayout" "us"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Device"<br> Identifier "Videocard0"
<br> Driver "nvidia"<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Screen"<br> Identifier "Screen0"<br> Device "Videocard0"<br> DefaultDepth 24<br> SubSection "Display"
<br> Viewport 0 0<br> Depth 24<br> EndSubSection<br>EndSection<br>=======================================================<br>And finally, the xorg.conf I tried using based on the examples on Jarrod's page. I modified the "Device" and "Screen" settings:
<br>=======================================================<br><br># Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config<br><br>Section "ServerLayout"<br> Identifier "Default Layout"<br> Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0

<br>EndSection<br><br>Section "Screen"<br> Identifier "Screen0"<br> Device "Videocard0"<br> DefaultDepth 24<br> SubSection "Display"<br> Viewport 0 0
<br> Depth 24<br> Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"<br> EndSubSection<br>EndSection<br>==================================================<br>I tried a full reboot after each mod, and nothing. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
