I installed the nvidia driver like this:
1) I installed the rpmfusion repos
2) I did a yum install kmod-nvidia
3) I ran nvidia-xconfig (to generate my xorg.conf file)
Still no luck. - my current xorg.conf file is below
I also tried running system-config-display --reconfig with no change in
results.
I tried adding a Modes section to the Screen section like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSection
but still no luck. If it matters, I installed CentOS and it immediately (even
without installing the nvidia drivers) gave me 1920x1200 - not sure if this is
helpful or not but it confirms that the card actually will run 1920x1200
Anyone have any other Ideas?
Thanks in advance...
