[Nouveau] Problems configuring an NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 with a 1366x768 screen
Hello people. This is the first time I write to this list. Today, I tried to test the latest version of Nouveau in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty (as downloadable on the PPA located at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates). The screen defaulted to 1024x768, but the full screen's resolution is 1366x768. I tried to change the maximum resolution via xorg.conf, but the OS refused to start the graphical interface until the xorg.conf file was erased. (The old xorg.conf file can be uploaded if needed). Is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 unable to change the resolution to an arbitrary size with the Nouveau driver as of yet? - Carlos Sol?s -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But support for the GT520 hasn't yet appeared in an upstream kernel release. It's queued for 3.2, and the code is sitting in nouveau git. You may be able to build an updated nouveau driver against your current kernel by following the instructions[1] on the nouveau wiki. Basically, despite what a casual browse around the internet will tell you, GF119 (which is what GT520 is) isn't quite the same as previous Fermi chips, huge chunks of it were redesigned. Ben.
