"Out Of Range" when changing resolution

[crackenoid]

Hey
I am new to Sabayon Linux.
I just built a new system,
Intel E6400, MSI 650i motherboard,
1GB DDR2-800,
EVGA Nvidia 7300GT 256 Mb Graphic Card,

I have a Sceptre X20WG 1080p 16:10 LCD monitor.

After Installing Sabayon 3,4f from the live DVD it loaded with a default resolution of 1024x768 which was also listed as the highest in the "Display" tab under "Configure - KDesktop" window.

I changed my resolution on my monitor with the "NVIDIA X Server Settings" to its maximum and recommended resolution 1680x1050 and it gave the "Out of Range" error. Sabayon then switched back to the 1024x768 resolution.

The nvidia autodetect also gave the same numbers ?

Best is to get the correct specs for the screen and then manually add them to /etc/X11/xorg.conf The 1080i is useless unless you have it connected via a hdmi connector. If using a svga / dvi connection on normal video cards then the res is liked to this connection.

See my nvidia xorg.conf manuallyedited with correct 1440x900 res for my laptop lcd.

Hope this helps.

Thank for the reply.
I tried to add 1680x1050 in the display modes of xorg.conf. Then I restart my X server using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and the monitor gives the "Out of Range" error.

The hz frequency is it within the 50 to 75 hz as in the specs. I think 50 / 60 / 72 / 75 is default normal good hz freq. You could also try to reinstall the video driver as this does sometimes fix this. Make sure the USE=" ... " has sdl and opengl in /etc/make.conf before reinstalling the video driver.

To reinstall nvidia:
# sudo emerge nvidia-drivers
