Analog VGA connection.

I tried that in Mint, didn't work. Maybe I should try the legacy driver? Kind of strange that the driver don't handle that resolution, but I did some googling, and have seen other successfully gotten 1366x768 using nVidia's proprietary driver, so I guess it is a combination of hardware and driver issue...

Well, it is pretty much a driver issue. I get the correct resolution if I use nv in both Mint and OpenSuSE 11, but the second I install the nVidia driver, I am thrown back to 1280x1024. This is the case with both 169.12 and the one available through Envy NG, and the one available in OpenSuSE. Seems like I have a choice between accelerated graphics and correct resolution.

Just another note, I have had some issues using ndiswrapper below version 1.48. It was causing a kernel panic in Mint. Not sure if it was a ndiswrapper issue or a Mint / Ubuntu issue, though. And in Ubuntu you have to add b43 and ssb to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and ndiswrapper to /etc/modules, in Mandriva I think I just ran the Wireless configuration utility.

I think I have rev 01 which works excellent with ndiswrapper. Did you use bcmwl5.inf?

This is after removing the newer version of the driver: I also compared those nvidia packages to the one available for the newer driver, and found that the nvidia-currrent-kernel was missing. I also ran a test last night, using the Linux Mint 5 live CD, where I could run at 1366x768 using the nv driver (I think, xorg.conf is not complete under a live session, it seems). The newest version in the repositories is 173.14.09, just checked with the nVidia site, the newest available from them is 177.13 And I have all repositories enabled, even PLF, was one of the first things I did, using Easy-Urpmi here. I don't have any of the backports or testing repositories enabled, though.

It looks like it, but it is actually 15.something, I guess they have just rounded it off. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the nVidia driver, and I just noticed it was a newer version available in the repository (I use 169.12 I think). But when I installed it, urpmi did not remove the old one, will this matter? I am used to debian based distributions, I feel a bit lost in Mandriva at times, but I can't help loving it :) EDIT: That was not a good idea, no X after the "update". Changed to vesa, got actually 1280x1024, I think, which more or less confirmed it to be a driver issue....

Didn't work, don't think it is a issue with the screen detection, I think it has something to do with the nVidia driver. I tried nvidia-xconfig as well, but no change.

It said: "(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1366x768"; removing." Complete log attached, the only thing I notice is that it calls my screen CRT-0, while it isn't a CRT screen. But since it is just a name, that shouldn't matter? Xorg.txt

The Mandriva Control Center is set to 1366x768, but the actual resolution is 1280x720. That is why I find it so weird.. EDIT: Same issue in KDE, KRandR won't go above 1280x720.

Funny thing is that nVidia settings display it as CRT-0, doubt that it matters though.

I have just installed Mandriva on a desktop with a nVidia card: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (rev a1) And today I was messing about with the fonts, as they are a bit blurry, and checking nVidia Display Settings I saw the resolution was set to 1280x720, same with System - Preferences - Screen Resolution, but drakconf showed the resolution to be 1366x768 (the correct one). Just to be sure, I took a screenshot and checked, it was 1280x720. I found that strange, so I thought I had to change xorg.conf, but cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Mode gave me this: So clearly xorg.conf is correct, but the Screen Resolution utility does not allow me to increase the resolution above 1280x720. Could it be limitation in with hardware? If so, strange, I ran the max resolution on this screen with a much older Intel card. And I seem to remember that this same card allowed me to run it at 1366x769 in Windooze. Running Mandriva 2008 Spring (Powerpack), currently in GNOME but I have KDE installed as well, and running Compiz. Will check if I get the correct resolution in KDE, but I would prefer it to be correct in GNOME as well...

That makes sense, as lists gconfd-root, gconfd-magnus, pulse-magnus & .esd500 as folders. Well, better take a look at mediatomb again, or maybe I'll see if my license of Twonky still works..

I haven't done anything, installed Mandriva 2008.1, then I noticed that my PS3 finds the desktop as a Mediaserver, wondering what it is, and how to configure it. I think this is limited to Powerpack though, as one never had this "issue". I was hoping anyone knew what this was, and if it is a Mediaserver I want to use it, but I want to change the shared folders, as the current ones seems like configuration folders.

I know of Mediatomb, but I was more curious about the Mandriva 2008.1 mediaserver that is discovered when my desktop is online..
