Resolution problems with Nvidia and LG 47LW4500

Asked by DavidBustamante

Hello:

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450, with the NVIDIA X Server already installed. I sue as my monitor my TV, and LG 47LW4500.

I know for sure it is posible to use a resolution of 1920x1080 with this hardware (I sow that when I had Windows), but it seems I am unable to reach this resolution now with Ubuntu 11.10.

This is a lshw of the NVidia

can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; xrandr; dpkg -l | grep nvidia

Its possible your display is not reporting its abilities properly but we can work around this.

Try:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current

Should give the 285 driver which may help. If your screen still sucks, we can start messing with other commands

Hi Action:

Good try. It takes a little to update. It seems every thing goes well.

BUT, after to reboot, the problem persist. I have look for new resolutions at the NVIDIA X Server and on the System settings/Display, but nothing new has appear.

Any idea?

Thank you again and best regards

ok try:
sudo nvidia-xconfig

Then reboot, once back in you can run:
gksudo nvidia-settings

and set the resolution to something (anything will do), then click 'save to X config file'

You can now run:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and change the resolution you set to the one you desire, save the new file and reboot, should be ok. If not you can hold shift at boot, select recovery mode and select root, then run:

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

note, the X in X11 is CAPITALIZED. This is important.

I am sorry, but it seems still does not work.

I follow the instructions you give me, and this is the result I have right now in my system for the xorg.conf file:

Its the screen you have, it's being a pig. Decent displays just work but yours seems to not want to co-operate.

Can you run:

gedit /var/lov/Xorg.0.log

And give the content.

In the meantime, runung the xrandr command, the output is

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768

   400x300 58.0
   320x240 59.0

This first line that talks about "failed to get size of gamma" does give any clue?

searching with google, it seems we have to remark this line in the xorg.0.log

Yes, thats why it's not setting up. Decent screens report EDID but yours isn't. That's why you need the xorg.conf file.

Hi Action:

Looking in the web, I found out the solution.

With the "cvt 1920 1080" command, I saw it is needed to have a vertical sync of something little less of 67 Mhz. I change this parameter in the xorg.conf file writing

Section "Monitor"

    # HorizSync source: builtin, VertRefresh source: builtin
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    VendorName "Unknown"
    ModelName "CRT-1"
    HorizSync 28.0 - 67.0
    VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
    Option "DPMS"
EndSection

instead of

Section "Monitor"

    # HorizSync source: builtin, VertRefresh source: builtin
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    VendorName "Unknown"
    ModelName "CRT-1"
    HorizSync 28.0 - 55.0
    VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
    Option "DPMS"
EndSection

This has been enough. After reboot, the Ubuntu display settngs allow me to chose several resolutions, one of the was 1920x1080.

I could not reach this final solution if all the previus steps. Thank you for all

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.

I suggest you back up the xorg.conf file you have so you can easily restore it if needed :)

Your monitor is the cause of your issue, not because its a CRT, but because it isn't reporting EDID like decent ones do.

Glad you got the gold :)
