Display resolution problen - nVidia Geforce 6150SE - CentOS 6.0

Post by joceravolo » 2011/08/06 17:26:28

Hi All,

I am starting with CentOS and Linux. I installed CentOS 6.0 and installed nVidia driver 64bits from elrepo.
The installation was fine and now the system recognizes the card.
After rebooting the maximum resolution I get is 848x480. This is crazy. I tried editing the xorg.conf and added other resolution values and rebooted.
It did not work.
Any other options out there?

Thanks.

What is the native resolution of your screen?

Please show us your xorg.conf file.

Hi Ned,

I have a HP w2207 monitor, the native resolution is 1680x1050 6-Hz.


The current xorg.conf is like this.

TIA.

Well, I ended up buying an XFX Geforce 8400 GS with 1Gb RAM and installed on the computer.
I turned it on and it worked immediately. I didn't even had to go to the nVidia settings to change anything.
Thanks for your help.
