I switched monitors on my SUSE 9.2 machine to a lower-resolution
Viewsonic VA2012wb, which is not listed as a choice in sax2. It has a
native 1680 x 1050 resolution, which is not one of the VEGA settings.
I have a GeForce GTX285 graphics card, and the NVidia drivers are
installed.

How do I get the native resolution of my monitor?

Thanks a bunch,
Jim Rome

hmm first try nvidia-settings.

If that won't work, well suse 9.2 is pretty old. You should still have an
xorg.conf to edit. Study the display resolution sections in there. You
should be able to add a new section that has the resolution you want.

That should make it easier. As resort you might be able to
=> diff /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ { or /etc/X11/
xorg.sax2save }


to obtain the 1680x1050 mode lines to install in the current xorg.conf.

Can't remember if nvidia-settings allow you to set the default mode.

Also, in my monitor section I code
Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"

Nothing is working. nvidia-settings X-server display settings has
640x480 as the display size with smaller options. This is also the
resolution listed in DFP-0.

The settings in xorg.conf do not seem to have any effect.
