Problem with Mandriva 2009 & GeForce 6800

I think I see the problem, though i don't know how to change it.

 

Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I see a few weird things. I cannot copy and paste the entire log b/c I can only access the log in safe mode, I cannot get to the GUI.

 

(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0):  Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6800 (NV41) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): Memorty: 262144 kBytes
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoBIOS: 05.41.02.34.15
(II) NVIDIA(0): Detected PCI Express Link width:  16X
(--) NVIDIA(0): Interlaced video modes are supported on this GPU
(--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce 6800 at PCI:1:0:0:
(--) NVIDIA(0):	  CRT-0
(--) NVIDIA(0):	  Dell E193FP (CRT-1)
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0:  400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
(--) NVIDIA(0): DELL E193FP (CRT-1):  400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: CRT-0

 

later...

 

(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 1024
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID: cannot compute DPI from CRT-0's EDID.

later...

 

(II) NVIDIA(0): Unable to connect to the ACPI daemon; the ACPI daemon may not be running or the "acpidsocketpath" X configuration option may not be set correctly.  When the ACPI daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver can use it to receive ACPI events.  For details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X Config Options in the README.

 

 

What I'm wondering, is why can X not find the EDID for device CRT-0? And why is it even trying to use CRT-0 when clearly, my monitor (a flat-screen by the way, not a CRT) is CRT-1? Why is the "assigned display device" being set to CRT-0? Is there a way to change it to CRT-1?

Good morning, well it is here. I cannot answer your questions directly, but, what you could do to be able paste your log for us is :-

When in safe mode make a copy of your log so it won't get changed then paste that copy on here for us. NOT all of it, just any interesting bits. :) Maybe we could find something that way. Also a copy of your xorg.conf may help as well.

X always names displays as crt even if it's a flat screen. I suppose that there is no way of telling unless ti's entered manually.

Hey! I actually got it fixed! I added the following line under Device in my xorg.conf file:

 

Option "UseDisplayDevice" "CRT-1"

 

Still curious where it's getting CRT-0 from, but at least I've got it solved.

 

Thanks for everyone's help!
