[nvidia-glx] Wrong resolution detected in DVI (and not in VGA)

ah, with previous version of kubuntu / ubuntu (6.19) all was ok. And also in windows xp all works very well in dvi

Thank you for your bug report (although I think it's been filed against the wrong product because Ubuntu 7.04 only ships with linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 ...)

fromillo:
This sounds similar to the issue descrbied on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia . Can you indicate whether finding the correct refresh ranges for your monitor and adding them to /etc/X11/xorg.conf solves the problem?

Setting to needsinfo pending reply from fromillo.

thanks.

For install drivers on ubuntu 7.04 i used System -> Administration -> Restricted Devices Manager. I tried also tu manually install drivers . But always i have that problem.

After installing driver i have minitor resolution to 640x480. So i also tried to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and i put correct settings for my monitor (in particular horizontal and vertical frequency). So i reboot my pc. At re-start all was ok until login screen: after ubuntu start screen, when ubuntu must show login screen monitor goes black (all pixel was black), and on keyboard the CAPS LOCK LED and SCROLL LOCK LED pulse (they go on for 1 second, and off for 1 second, and on for 1 second, and off for 1 second........... ). I waited for 10 minutes but nothing changed.

Previous experience was in DVI MODE.

If i power off pc and switch cable to VGA all works good.

But also in VGA mode sometimes when i click to power off button on gnome, monitor was black and on keyboard the CAPS LOCK LED and SCROLL LOCK LED pulse (similar to previuos experience).

I tried also envy but i have same results in DVI.thank you very much, and sorry for my bad english

Setting back to unconfirmed after reply.

The keyboard light pulsing sounds very bad. Not sure what to make of that. If that were not happening I would have one more suggestion for you to try...

fromillo:
Could you upload your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to this bug report please?

Does the open source nv driver also have this issue?

no, nv driver was ok in all situations. Only proprietary driver has these issues

(I don't think you can do this via email)

now i have that xorg.conf. I tried to insert horizontal and vertical refresh but i have same results :(

fromillo:
Can you add:
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
to the Screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and see if there is any difference?

i tried some minutes ago. No differences :(

fromillo:
Does setting
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
in the Screen section of xorg.conf make any difference?

sorry for delay..

I tried Option "UseEDID" "FALSE". Same errors :(

fromillo:
Just to be clear, you had the horizontal and vertical refresh rates in your xorg.conf at the same time you added Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"?

And you could you attach (using the Attachment box at the bottom of the launchpad page) the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from that run?

now i'm not at my home. When i'll go home, i'll post results (3-4 days). Thank you

sorry for delay.

I've tried, but i have same problems :(

fromillo:
Could you attach (using the Attachment box at the bottom of the launchpad page) the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf from that run?
