In the vein of the "Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024" and "Another CentOS 5 oddity..." threads, I just installed CentOS5 w/Xen kernel on a Sony VAIO desktop with an nVidia NV5M64 (RIVA TNT2 64 Pro) card, using an old Samsung SyncMaster 700NF monitor. system-config-display chose the highest possible resolution for the monitor and Xorg did its best to drive it, but

Hello, I'm using CentOS 5.5 / 16bit as a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation and have installed the "VMWare Tools" by running vmware-install.pl and vmware-config-tools.pl but can't figure out how to make the VM shutdown, when I shutdown the Windows PC hosting it. Does anybody please have any hints or scripts? Do I need to use any VMWare modules if I just want to shutdown the

Hi! Just wondering if anyone has this working ... Centos-7 guest in VMware-10 host (on Windows-7 :-( ) Out of the box, shared folders and drag&drop do not work although X screen resolution sensing is fine (ie xrandr reports the resolution of the host screen as well as the peculiar screen options built-in) and I can Alt-Enter to full screen quite happily. I tried Fedora-22 too but did

Hi, Did anyone manage to get 4.4 working on a Dell D620 laptop? The thing has a 1440x900 LCD screen, but I don't get X the work with that resolution. (lspci: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)) Google suggested to use '915resolution', which I installed (915resolution-0.5.2-1.el4.rf), but that doesn't help. Regards, --

I originally set up this monitor with an analogue lead. Everything seemed fine, so I didn't check xorg.conf at all. Then I bought a digital lead, and since then the monitor blinks. Running system-config-display identifies it as a 1280 x 1084 CRT monitor. It is an LCD monitor. That model is not on the drop-down list, so assuming that a specific driver wasn't available for it, I

Hi all, Up until today everything has been fine with CentOS on my Toshiba laptop. I booted into CentOS 4.3 today and Kudzu detected my video card for some reason. I let it configure it (wish I hadn't now). I can still get in. X and Gnome work. But the video resolution is 800x640. The LCD is capable of 1024x768. I cannot change it using Gnome tools or direct editing of

I have had my "nv" driver lock up a number of times. I downloaded the "nvidia" drivers and they did not work at 1920x1080 resolution. I am looking for an updated driver for just "nv". I found some once for a different driver that you just update commonXXX and yourdriverXXX not the whole X recompile. Where can I find those drivers? THanks, Jerry --------------

Some are very good at taking the timings of VESA standards. But some support some eccentric Windows timings that are _not_ the exact same as VESA. Or maybe you have configured your monitor for

Hi all! I tried to install and run Jane's USAF and Super Pro 9.4 with no luck. The game installs fine, but I cannot make it work under Linux (P-IV 2.5 + 1Gb RAM + NVidia 440Go (64Mb) with Ubuntu 9.10 + Wine 1.1.35 + NVidia 96.43.13). The game runs fine in this very same computer under Windows XP, and my computer exceeds by far the game's requirements. The original program (Jane's USAF)

I asked on the Gentoo forums, and surprisingly haven't gotten an answer. When I run xrandr, I get this output: Code: Screen 0: minimum 2960 x 1050, current 2960 x 1050, maximum 2960 x 1050 default connected 2960x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm 2960x1050 50.0* I'm using TwinView with a 1680x1050 monitor and a 1280x1024 monitor.

I have the 6 CDs for CentOS 5, and I have installed it on a couple of computers without any problem. I just tried to create a virtual machine under VMware 5.5.4, it goes through the 1st CD without problem, and crashes on the 2nd CD for Xorg. Any suggestion? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

hello! i am using archlinux x86_64. i have got a 32bit chroot and also 32bit libs installed, so i can run 32bit apps inside the chroot or using the libs. now my problem: my native desktop resolution is 1680x1050. i want to play my games in 800x600, 1024x768 or whatever. when i run a game in the chroot, it works like a charme, wine changes the resolution and i have no problems at all. when i run

I have a user who wants to have 4 monitors attached to his CentOS 6.4 system. I know that you can't use both on-board video and a PCI video card at the same time, but what about two PCI video cards? The system seems to recognize them as shown by the lspci -v output below, but I can't get Xorg to use the second card. Has anyone done this? If so, what is the trick to get it to work?

WoW detects my monitor hz as 77, 78, 79. 80, 81, 82 but not 60hz which it should be! This causes a lot of tearing which can be annoying. Is there any way of fixing this?

I have an i810 chipset and am trying to set a custom mode. X is not taking that mode. Has anyone else run into this situation? How do I get X to take the mode on an i810 driver. Jerry

I've fairly recently changed my Linux desktop, and now use a XFree86 server. The default X11() window is rather small: it is supposed to be 7" x 7". However, 1) It is actually just over 5" x 5" and 2) 7" x 7" would be rather small on a 21" screen. The reason for 1) is that DisplayWidthMM give 542mm, when it is really close to 400mm (and the correct
