nvidia GeForce 7200 GS and 1600x1200 resolution
 

Hi,
On a 8.10 system, my nvidia GeForce 7200 GS is not automatically
recognized and I cannot go to my favorite 1600x1200 resolution.

Have you got an xorg.conf, somewhere, that I could copy/paste on an
Ubuntu to get that resolution, with the opensource drivers?

I dont wanna use the nvidia binary drivers.

Thank you.

You can get the good that work fine non-ubuntu nvidia drivers using
the sympatic download tool. You look for the nvidia file and d/l that
and then reboot. You will get the right resolution automatically. I did
it when I first loaded 8.04 and now when I get a new kernel I get a new
nvidia kernel driver. That way kernel updates are not exciting :-)

If you do not want to use the proprietary drivers, then get a new
computer without nvidia parts. For nvidia to work properly you must have
these drivers, period.

I don't have my machine with my nvidia G71 GeForce 7300GS in front of me
as it's in the shop. But as I recall, I had to use the nvidia 177 driver to get my LG 22" lcd monitor to display it's native resolution of 1860X1050 on Intrepid. On this hardy system with an ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver is automatically installed to display the native resolution of 1278X768(or Close) on my CRT Gateway EV700 monitor. On this system, nvidia-kernel-common, is also automaticallyu installed.
I don't know is this is helpful or confusing, just what I have to get native resolution on 2 monitors on 2 versions. On my intrepid system, I had to use the nvidia-glx-new-envy driver to get the lcd 22" to work correctly and stay that way. I also think you will need the nvidia-new-kernel-source-envy kernel driver for it to work. I think you will have to use the nvidia proprietary drivers to get what you want or at least get it easier where it stays after rebooting. No expert here so, if something is not quite correct, someone will correct. HTH and that I'm not confusing the issue.

Yeah, it is confusing and I did have to try different nvidia drivers
before I found one that worked and stayed with the same resolution
after I rebooted. If you want a suggestion, I'd try first, the nvidia-glx-177 driver as usually the latest driver works the best.
If that doesn't work, then try the others which is what I had to do
with both hardy and intrepid. Also do an aptitude search nvidia and
install the nvidia kernel source that matches the nvidia driver.
If there's an easier way, I don't know it but you may find a lot by
googling for your card ID+nvidia+drivers or something similar. HTH.

seems to tell me "7200 GS"

Great, I assume that you are now using nvidia-glx-173 and your
monitor is running at the desired resolution.-:)) I'm curious though.
Did you actually try my recommendation, nvidia-glx-177 I believe, and
it not worked for you? Usually, the newest drivers tend to work best
having had some bug fixes and more cards covered. This knowledge would
be useful to the list. BTW, I googled for nvidia-glx-177 and found the
the 7200 GS is also a covered card so it would be interesting to know if
if worked or not or if you tried it. Happy, your problem is now fixed
although you had to use the proprietary drivers as Karl so adamantly proclaimed.-:))

I directly tried 177.
Worked straight.
But, OTOH, i dont need more than the "correct" resolution (no compiz nor
TwinView...)
