KDE not listing all resolutions

Hi everyone,

 

I recently upgraded to Mandriva 2007.1 (installed from One disc). Everything is working okay, except that I can't seem to get a resolution higher than 1024x768. I'm using an LCD with a 1280x1024 native resolution, and my xorg.conf file is configured correctly (as far as I can tell). However, KDE isn't showing any higher resolutions. Anyone have any thoughts? Here is my xorg.conf file for reference:

It sounds like you have not installed the correct driver for your Video card and at present only have a generic driver for video cards instead.

 

It says the driver is nv and not nvidia so it is saying only the generic driver is installed.

 

Use MCC and download the rpm package dkms-invidia97xx-1.0-9755, it will want to install a number of other dependancy packages as well.

Download them and it will automatically install them. When done, I recommend rebooting although same say it is not really necessary.

Then you should be able to select the resolution you desire.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers. John.
