Hi, All

 

I have videocard nVidia GeForce 9600 GT and ViewSonic VA902

Problem is that running XFdrake there is no ViewSonic VA902 in selection. The nearest item is ViewSonic VA800.

I select it and it seems for me that not all is ok, my screen is rather hard for my eyes,my eyes quickly becomes tired.

 

It seems to me that all is ok with my videocard:

Can this problem be as wrong ViewSonic selection in XFdrake or can be some other reason?

I read it, but that is not still clear for me...

Please, clarify, which parameters and how have I to tune in my xorg.conf:

 

   Section "Monitor"

       # TV fullscreen mode or DVD fullscreen output.
       # 768x576 @ 79 Hz, 50 kHz hsync
       Identifier     "monitor1"

       ModelName      "ViewSonic VA800"

   EndSection

 

 

Is it ok 2 Section "Monitor" sections ?

You just need one monitor section.

 

What you need are ModeLines that match your monitor. I thought you could pull modeline numbers from the link I gave you.

 

 

Alternately:

 

Creating monitor modelines for xorg.conf

The GTF XFree86 modeline generator is a utility for calculating VESA GTF modes. Given the desired horizontal and vertical resolutions and refresh rate (in Hz), the parameters for a matching VESA GTF mode are printed out.

 

$ gtf 1280 1024 85

 

# 1280x1024 @ 85.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 91.38 kHz; pclk: 159.36 MHz

Modeline "1280x1024_85.00" 159.36 1280 1376 1512 1744 1024 1025 1028 1075 -HSync +Vsync

An easier way maybe is to generate a new one for your machine. If X is not already running, simply:

 

X -configure

 

will generate /root/xorg.conf.new and you can then copy this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You can also let Xorg detect everything automatically by completely deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it's any better.

I tried to set Modeline from commands

$ gtf 1280 1024 85

and

$ gtf 1280 1024 75

But I did not see any difference

 

Rebooting as single user and running

X -configure 

I get error(from /var/log/Xorg.0.log file):

Actually I want to move from Fedora 14 to Mandriva 2010. In both cases I use kde and installe nvidia driver.

I was using Fedora 12 and 14 for more 1 year. Installing Mandriva 2010 I found that my screen is rather hard for my eyes, my eyes quickly becomes tired

I thought, maybe my eyes have some time to become habitual to Mandriva ? I am sitting on Mandriva about 1 and half monthes and still my screen is rather hard for my eyes...

 

I returned to Fedora 14 with KDE and I feel that it is much easier for my eyes... In Fedora after installing nvidia and setting in nvidia-settings application screen Resolution(1280*1024,75Hz) I do not tune xorg.conf manually in any way...

 

How can it be ? That it is rather frustrating for me...

 

 

I run command X -configure in single user in Fedora 14 and I get next xorg.conf file (without error as in Mandriva as I wrote before):

What is the difference between Fedora 14 and Mandriva ?

 

I think I can try to copy this file as /etc/x11/xorg.conf in Mandriva file or even to copy to Mandriva xorg.conf from My Feodra system, but is it safe? As I read wrong configuration in xorg.conf can fisically damage of monitor ?
